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 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 |
|
Feed the world |
|
Let them know it's Christmas time |
|
Feed the world |
|
Do they know it's Christmas time at all? |
|
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 nor rivers flow |
|
Do they know it's Christmas time at all? |
|
Feed the world |
|
Let them know it's Christmas time |
|
Feed the world |
|
Let them know it's Christmas time again |
|
BRIDGE: (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? |
|
END: Feed the world |
|
Let them know it's Christmas time |
