There's no need to be afraid
At Christmas time, 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 Christmas time
But say a prayer
Pray for the other ones
At Christmastime it's hard, but when you're having fun
There's a world outside your window
And it's a world of dread and fear
Where the only water flowing is the bitter sting of tears
And the Christmas bells that ring there are the clangingchimes of doom
Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you
And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life
(Oooh)
Where nothing ever grows
No rain nor rivers flow
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?
(Here's to you)
Raise a glass for everyone
(Here's to them)
(Here's to them)
underneath that burning sun
Do they know it's Christmastime at all?
Feed the world!
Let them know it's Christmas time again
Feed the world!
Let them know it's Christmas time again
