Do They Know It's Christmas

It's Christmas timeThere's no need to be afraidAt Christmas timeWe let in light and we banish shade

And in our world of plentyWe can spread a smile of joyThrow your arms around the worldAt Christmas time

But say a prayerPray for the other onesAt Christmas time, it's hardBut when you're having fun

There's a world outside your windowAnd it's a world of dreaded fearWhere the only water flowingIs a bitter sting of tears

And the Christmas bells that ring thereAre the clanging chimes of doomWe'll, tonight, thank God, it's themInstead of you

And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas timeThe greatest gift they'll get this year is lifeWhere nothing ever grows, no rain or rivers flowDo they know it's Christmas time at all?

Here's to youRaise your glass for everyoneHere's to themUnderneath that burning sunDo they know it's Christmas time at all?
