Do They Know It's Christmas?
|
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; 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 dread and fear
|
Where a kiss of love can kill you
|
And there's death in every tear
|
And the Christmas bells that ring there, are the clanging chimes of doom
|
Well tonight we're reaching out and touching you
|
Bring peace and joy this Christmas to West Africa
|
A song of hope, when there's no hope tonight
|
Why is to comfort to be feared
|
Why is to touch to be scared
|
How can they know it's Christmas time at all?
|
Here's to you
|
Raise a glass for everyone
|
And here's to them
|
And all their years to come
|
Can they know it's Christmas time at all?
|
Feed the world, let them know it's Christmas time again
|
Feel the world, let them know it's Christmas time again
|
Heal the world, let them know it's Christmas time again
