It's Christmastime
|
There's no need to be afraid
|
At Christmastime, 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 Christmastime
|
|
But say a prayer
|
|
Pray for the other ones
|
At Christmastime 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 Christmastime
|
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life
|
(Oooh) Where nothing ever grows
|
No rain nor rivers flow
|
Do they know it's Christmastime at all?
|
|
(Here's to you) raise a glass for everyone
|
(Here's to them) underneath that burning sun
|
Do they know it's Christmastime at all?
|
|
Feed the world
|
Feed the world
|
|
Feed the world
|
|
Let them know it's Christmastime again
|
|
Feed the world
|
Let them know it's Christmastime again
|
|
Repeat then fade
|
