Do They Know It's Christmas?

Do They Know It's Christmas? - Temperance

It's Christmas-time

There's no need to be afraid

At Christmas-time we let in love and we banish hate

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 ooh-hoo prayer 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

Oh the greatest gift they'll get this year is life

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 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

Feed the world

Let them know it's Christmas-time at all
