It's Christmas time 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 others 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
Where the only water flowing is the bitter sting of tears
And the Christmas bells that ring out 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 a glass for everyone
Here's to them underneath that burning sun
Do they know its Christmas time at all?
Feed the world let them know it's X-mas time.
