Do They Know It`s Christmas ? Lyrics

It's Christmas time 

There's no need to be afraid 

At Christmas time 

We let in light and we banish hate 

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 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 clanging chimes 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 

Where nothing ever grows 

No rain, no river flows 

Do they know it's Christmas time at all 



Here's to you raise a glass for everyone 

Here's to them underneath that burning sun 

Do they know it's Christmas time at all 



Feed the world 

Let them know it's Christmas again 

(ad lib)
