Do They Know It's Christmas? (Snow in Africa Mix)

It's Christmas time, and there's no need to be afraid At Christmas time, we let in light and banish shade And in our world of plenty, we can spread a smile of joy Throw your arms around the world At Christmas time But say a prayer, pray for the other ones At Christmas time, it's hard but while you're having fun There's a world outside your window, and it's a world of dread and fear Where a kiss of love can kill you, and there's death in every tear And the Christmas bells that ring there are the clanging chimes of doom Well tonight we're reaching out and touching you No peace and joy this Christmas in West Africa The only hope they'll have is being alive Where to comfort is to fear Where to touch is to be scared How can they know it's Christmas time at all Here's to you Raise a glass to everyone And here's to them And all their years to come Let them know it's Christmas time after all Feed the world, let them know it's Christmas time again Feel the world, let them know it's Christmas time again Heal the world, let them know it's Christmas time again
