Do They Know It's Christmas?

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
Oh, 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
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 (this Christmas time, no)
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life (is life)
Where nothing ever grows (nothing ever grows)
No rain or rivers flow (oh, no, no, no)
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? (yeah...)

Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da

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 feed the world, let them know it's Christmas time
