Do they know it's christmastime
Howard Carpendale / Band Aid

It's christmas time.
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 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 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 christmastime.
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life
(Oooh) where nothing ever grows
No rain, no 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 burning sun.
Do they know it's christmastime at all?

Feed the world
Feed the world, feed the world
Feed the world, feed the world
Feed the world,
Let them know it's christmastime again !
Feed the world,
Let them know it's christmastime again !
Feed the world, feed the world
Let them know it's christmastime again !
Feed the world, feed the world
Let them know it's christmastime again !
