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
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 OR 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 BURNIN' 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 AGAIN
FEED THE WORLD
LET THEM KNOW
IT'S CHRISTMAS TIME AGAIN
FEED THE WORLD
LET THEM KNOW
IT'S CHRISTMAS TIME AGAIN
FEED THE WORLD
LET THEM KNOW
IT'S CHRISTMAS TIME AGAIN
FEED THE WORLD
LET THEM KNOW
IT'S CHRISTMAS TIME AGAIN...
