Do they know it´s Christmas Songtext / Lyric

It´s Christmas time! There´s no need to be afraid. At Christmas time
we let in light and we banish shame.
And in our world of plenty
we can spread a smil of joy.
Put 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 stream 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, nor rain or river 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 burnig sun.
Do they know it´s Christmas time at all?

Feed the world
Let them know it´s Christmas time!
