Do they know it's christmas?

(feat. Band Aid 20)

It's Christmas time, and 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 and pray for the other ones
At Christmas time, it's hard, but when your having fun
There's a world outside your window
And it's a world of dread and fear
And 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 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, let them know it's Christmas time
Feed the world, let them know it's Christmas time
Feed the world, let them know it's Christmas time
Feed the world, let them know it's Christmas time

(Repeat)
