Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's Christmastime
There's no need to be afraid
At Christmastime
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 Christmastime
[Verse 2]
But say a prayer
And pray for the other ones
At Christmastime
It's hard
But when you're havin' fun
[Verse 3]
There's a world outside your window
And it's a world of dread and fear
And 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
[Verse 4]
There won't be snow in Africa this Christmastime
No
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life
You know
Where nothin' ever grows
No rain or river flows
Do they know it's Christmastime at all?
[Verse 5]
Here's to you, raise a glass for everyone
Here's to them, underneath that burning sun
Do they know it's Christmastime at all?
[Verse 6]
Feed the world
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmastime
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmastime again
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmastime again
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmastime again
