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 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 Christmastime |
|
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 Christmastime at all? |
|
(Here's to you) raise a glass for everyone |
|
(Here's to them) underneath that burning sun |
|
Do they know it's Christmastime at all? |
|
Feed the world |
|
Feed the world |
|
Feed the world |
|
Let them know it's Christmastime again |
|
Feed the world |
|
Let them know it's Christmastime again |
|
repeat then fade |
|
(Bob Geldof & Midge Ure) |
