[Verse 1: Paul Young, Chris Martin & Ed Sheeran] It's Christmas time, there's no need to be afraid At Christmas time, we let in lightandwe banish shade It'sChristmas time, there's no need tobe afraid At Christmas time, we let in light and we banish shade [Verse 2: Boy George, Dido, Sam Smith, Boy George & Rita Ora] And in our world of plenty we can spread a smile of joy Throw your arms around the world at Christmas time [Verse 3: Robbie Williams, George Michael & Paloma Faith] But say a prayer [Spoken Interlude: Michael Buerk] Dawn, and as the sun breaks through the piercing chill of night on the plains outside Korem, it lights up a biblical famine, now, in the 20th century [Verse 4: Guy Garvey, Sting & Simon LeBon] There's a world outside your window And it's a world of dread and fear [Spoken Interlude: Michael Buerk] This place, say workers hеre, is the closest thing to Hеll on Earth [Chorus: All] Feed the world [Verse 5: Paloma Faith, George Michael, Robbie Williams & George Michael, Angélique Kidjo, *Robbie Williams*] But say a prayer But say a prayer, and pray for the other ones At Christmastime, *at Christmastime* It's hard but while you're having fun [Verse 6: Sting, Simon LeBon & Tony Hadley, Sugababes, Sting, Simon LeBon, Bono & Chris Martin, Bono] 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 Well, tonight we're reaching out and touching you [Verse 7: Seal & Paul Weller, Sinéad O'Connor, Joss Stone & Justin Hawkins] Bring peace and joy this Christmas to everywhere this Christmas The greatest gift we share each year is life is life Why is to comfort to be feared? Why is to touch is to be scared? Do they know it's Christmas time at all? [Bridge: One Direction & Olly Murs, Tom Chaplin, Guy Garvey & Justin Hawkins, Sam Smith, All] Here's to you Raise a glass to everyone And here's to them And all their years to come Here's to them And all their years to come Do they know it's Christmas time? Do they know it's Christmas time? Do they know it's Christmas time at all? [Chorus: All & Dizzee Rascal] Feed the world Feed the world Feed the world Spare a thought this yuletide for the deprived If the table was turned, would you survive? Feed the world You ain't gotta feel guilt, just selfless Give a little help to the helpless Feed the world, let them know it's Christmastime again Feed the world, let them know it's Christmastime again [Spoken Outro: David Bowie] It's David Bowie, over the next twelve months it's projected that well over three hundred and sixty thousand childen under the age of four will die in Ethiopia Band Aid is a record that's been made by a lot of recording artists and stars The proceeds will all go to Ethiopia It would be wonderful if you could all buy copies of this record, thank you
