Temperance - Do They Know It's Christmas? lyrics

(B. Geldof, M. Ure, with alterations by Temperance) It's Christmas-time There's no need to be afraid At Christmas-time, we let in love and we banish hate 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 (ooh-hoo), prayer 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 (uhm, hmm) 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 (Oh-oh) The greatest gift they'll get this year is life (Is life, ooh-wo-ooh-wo-oh-oh-oh-oh) Where nothing ever grows No rain or rivers flow Do they know it's Christmas-time at all? Here's to you...raise a gla** for everyone Here's to them...underneath that burning sun Do they know it's Christmas-time at all? Feed the world Feed the world Feed the world Let them know it's Christmas-time Feed the world Let them know it's Christmas-time
