Its Christmas time, theres no need to be afraid
at christmas time, we let in light and we banish shade

but in our world of plenty, we should 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, its hard but when your having fun
theres a world outside your window
and its a world of dread and 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

Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you
and there wont 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 a glass for everyone
here's to them underneath the burning sun
do they know its christmas time at all?

feed the world
feed the world
feed the world
let them know its christmas time and
feed the world
let them know its christmas time
feed the world
let them know its christmas time
