[1:]  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    [2:]  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 doom  Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you    Feed the world   Let them know it's Christmas time  Feed the world  Do they know it's Christmas time at all?    [3:]  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 nor rivers flow  Do they know it's Christmas time at all?    Feed the world   Let them know it's Christmas time  Feed the world  Let them know it's Christmas time again    [BRIDGE:]  (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?    [END:]  Feed the world  Let them know it's Christmas time    [END:]  [repeat & fade]
