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 and 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  And 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  There won't be snow in Africa this Christmastime    The greatest gift they'll get this year is life  Oh, where nothing ever grows, no rain or river flows  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  Feed the world    Feed the world  Let them know it's Christmastime again  Feed the world  Let them know it's Christmastime again  Feed the world  Let them know it's Christmastime again  Feed the world  Let them know it's Christmastime again
