Band Aid
Do They Know It’s Christmas?
[Paul Young]
It's Christmas time
There's no need to be afraid
At Christmas time
We let in light and we banish shade
[Boy George]
And in our world of plenty
We can spread a smile of joy
Throw your arms around the world
At Christmas time
[George Michael & Simon LeBon (Duran Duran)]
But say a prayer
Pray for the other ones
At Christmas time it's hard
But when you're having fun
[Simon LeBon, & Sting]
There's a world outside your window
And it's a world of dread and fear
[Sting, & Simon LeBon]
Where the only water flowing
Is the bitter sting of tears
[Bono, & Sting]
And the Christmas bells that ring there
Are the clanging chimes of doom
[Bono]
Well, tonight thank God it's them
Instead of you
[Boy George & Others]
And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life (Oooh)
Where nothing ever grows, no rain or rivers flow
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?
[Marilyn & Glenn Gregory]
Here's to you
[Paul Young]
Raise a glass for everyone
[Marilyn & Glenn Gregory]
Here's to them
[Paul Young]
Underneath that burning sun
[Paul Young, Marilyn & Glenn Gregory]
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?
[Chorus: 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
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again
