Band Aid (Bono & Adam Clayton) – Do They Know It's Christmas lyrics
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

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?

(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?

Feed the world
Feed the world

Feed the world
Let them know, it's Christmas time again

Feed the world
Let them know, it's Christmas time again

Feed the world
Let them know, it's Christmas time again

Feed the world
Let them know, it's Christmas time again

Feed the world
Let them know, it's Christmas time again
