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?
