Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's Christmastime, there's no need to be afraid
At Christmastime, we let in light and we banish shade
[Verse 2]
And in our world of plenty we can spread a smile of joy
Throw your arms around the world at Christmastime
[Verse 3]
But say a prayer, pray for the other ones
At Christmastime it's hard, but while we're having fun
[Verse 4]
There's a world outside your window
And it's a world of dread and fear
Where a kiss of love can kill you
And there's a death in every tear
[Verse 5]
And the Christmas bells that ring here
Are the clanging chimes of doom
Well tonight we're reaching out
And touching you
[Verse 6]
No peace and joy this Christmas in West Africa
The only hope they'll have is being alive, yeah
What a comfort it is to feel
Where a touch is to be scared
How can they know it's Christmastime at all?
[Verse 7]
Here's to you
Raise a glass for everyone
Here's to them
And all that is to come
Can they know it's Christmastime at all?
[Verse 8]
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmastime
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmastime
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmastime
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmastime
[Verse 9]
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmastime
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmastime
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmastime
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmastime
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmastime
