Do They Know It's

Geldof/Ure

It's Christmas time, and there's no need to be afraid
At Christmas time, we lay the light and we banish shade
And in our world of plenty you can spread a smile of joy
Spread our arms around the world at Christmas time

But say a prayer, to 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 the only water's flow 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
Oh, where nothing ever grows, no rain nor 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 that burning sun
Do they know it's Christmas time at all

1,2,3,4 ? feed the world ? feed the world ? 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 ? feed the world ?
Let them know it's Christmas time ? feed the world ?
