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 door
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
oh.
Where nothing ever grows
no rain or rivers flow

Do they know it's Christmas-time at all?
Here's to you
raise a glas for ev'ryone

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.
Feed the world
let them know it's Christmas-time

Feed the world
let them know it's Christmas-time

Feed the world
let them know it's Christmas-time
