It's Christmas Time
   There's no need to be afraid
   At Christmas time
   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 Christmas time
  
   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
  
   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 of rivers flow
   Do they know it's Christmas time at all?
  
   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?
  
   Feed the world
   Let them know it's Christmas time again
