Katie Melua
Do They Know It’s Christmas?
[Verse 1: Chris Martin, Dido]
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

[Verse 2: Robbie Williams, Sugababes, Fran Healy, Justin Hawkins, Bono]
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

[Verse 3: Will Young & Jamelia, Ms. Dynamite & Beverly Knight, Various & Joss Stone]
And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life, oh
Where nothing ever grows
No rain, no rivers flow
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?
[Verse 4: Tom Chaplin, Dizzee Rascal, Busted, Justin Hawkins, Joss Stone]
Here's to you, raise a glass for everyone
Spare a thought this yuletide for the deprived
If the table was turned, would you survive?
Here's to them underneath that burning sun
You ain't gotta feel guilt, just selfless
Give a little help to the helpless
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?

[Chorus: Tom Chaplin, Chris Martin, Sugababes, All, (Fran Healy)]
Feed the world
Feed the world
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
(Ooh... Ah!)

[Outro: All]
Feed the world
Feed the world
Feed the world (They got to feed it)
Feed the world
Feed the world
Feed the world (Feed the world, yeah) (Feed the world)
Feed the world
Feed the world
