Do They Know It's Christmas (12" Mix)

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 dreaded fear
Where the only water flowing
Is a bitter sting of tears.

And the Christmas bells that ring there
Are the clanging chimes of doom
We'll, 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 or rivers flow
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?

Here's to you
Raise your 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 and
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time and
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time and.
