It's Christmastime,

there's no need to be afraid.

At Christmastime

we let in light and 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

Where the Christmas bells that are ringing

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.

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 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.
