Lyrics

[Verse 1: Paul Young] It's Christmastime There's no need to be afraid At Christmastime We let in light and we banish shade [Verse 2: Boy George] And in our world of plenty We can spread a smile of joy Throw your arms around the world At Christmastime [Verse 3: George Michael & Simon LeBon] But say a prayer Pray for the other ones At Christmastime It's hard, but when you're having fun [Pre-Chorus: Simon LeBon, Simon LeBon & Sting, Sting & Bono, 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 [Chorus: Ensemble & Boy George] And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmastime The greatest gift they'll get this year is life (Oh) Where nothing ever grows, no rain or rivers flow Do they know it's Christmastime at all? (Oh) [Bridge: Marilyn & Glenn Gregory, Paul Young, All] Here's to you, raise a glass for everyone Here's to them underneath that burning sun Do they know it's Christmastime at all? [Outro: Ensemble] Feed the world Feed the world Feed the world (Let them know it's Christmastime again) Feed the world (Let them know it's Christmastime again) Feed the world (Let them know it's Christmastime again) Feed the world (Let them know it's Christmastime again) Feed the world (Let them know it's Christmastime again) Feed the world (Let them know it's Christmastime again)
