Do They Know It’s Christmas?
filed under:
(Paul Young)
It’s Christmas time; there’s no need to be afraid
At Christmastime, we let in light and we banish shade
(Boy George)
And in our world of plenty we can spread a smile of joy
Throw your arms around the world at Christmastime
(George Michael)
But say a prayer to pray for the other ones
At Christmastime
(Simon Le Bon)
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
(Sting)
Where the only water flowing is the bitter sting of tears
(Sting and Bono)
And the Christmas bells that ring there
Are the clanging chimes of doom
(Bono)
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 Christmastime at all?
Here’s to you, raise a glass for ev’ryone
Here’s to them, underneath that burning sun
Do they know it’s Christmastime at all?
Feed the world
Let them know it’s Christmastime again
