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 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 dreaded fear
where the only water flowing is a bitter sting of tears
and the christmas bells that ring 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 your glass for everyone
here's to them.
underneath that burning sun.
do they know it's christmas time at all
yeaaah
feed the world
let them know it's christmas time and
feed the world
let them know it's christmas time and
feed the world
let them know it's christmas time and
feed the world
let them know it's christmas time and
feed the world
let them know it's christmas time and
feed the world
let them know it's christmas time.
