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?
