Do They Know It's Christmas?

It's Christmastime

There's no need to be afraid

At Christmastime, we let in light and we banish shade

And in our world of plenty, we can spread a smile of joy

Throw your arms around the world at Christmastime

But say a prayer

Pray for the other ones

At Christmastime, it's hard, but when you're havin' fun

There's a world outside your window

And it's a world of dread and fear

Where the only water flowin' is the bitter sting of tears

And the Christmas bells that ring

There are clanging chimes of doom

Well, tonight, thank God it's them instead of you

And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmastime

The greatest gift they'll get this year is life

Where nothin' ever grows, no rain or rivers flow

Do they know it's Christmastime at all?

Here's to you, raise a glass for everyone

Here's to them underneath that burnin' sun

Do they know it's Christmastime at all?

Feed the world

Let them know it's Christmastime

Feed the world

Let them know it's Christmastime (it's Christmastime)

Feed the world (feed the world)

Let them know it's Christmastime

Feed the world

Let them know it's Christmastime again

Do they know it's Christmastime at all?
