It's Christmas time
|
No need to be afraid
|
At Christmas time, we let in light
|
And we banish shade
|
In a world of plenty, we can spread a smile of joy
|
Throw your arms around the world
|
At Christmas time
|
|
If I could say a prayer
|
And 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
|
When 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?
|
|
And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time
|
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life
|
When nothing ever grows, no rain or rivers flow
|
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?
|
|
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?
|
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?
