It's Christmas time |
|
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 Christmas time, it's hard |
|
But when you're having fun |
|
There's a world outside your window |
|
And it's a world of dreaded fear |
|
Where the only water flowing |
|
Is a bitter sting of tears |
|
And the Christmas bells that ring there |
|
Are the clanging chimes of doom |
|
We'll, 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 or rivers flow |
|
Do they know it's Christmas time at all? |
|
Here's to you |
|
Raise your glass for everyone |
|
Here's to them |
|
Underneath that burning sun |
|
Do they know it's Christmas time at all? |
|
Feed the world |
|
Feed the world |
|
Feed the world |
|
Let them know it's Christmas time and |
|
Feed the world |
|
Let them know it's Christmas time and |
|
Feed the world |
|
Let them know it's Christmas time and |
|
