Barenaked Ladies - Do They Know It's Christmas? lyrics

It's Christmastime there's no need
To be afraid at Christmastime
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 Christmastime
But say a prayer and pray for the other ones
At Christmastime

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
And 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 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 river flows
Do they know it's Christmastime at all?

Here's to you, raise a glass for ev'ryone
Here's to them, underneath that burning sun
Do they know it's Christmastime at all?

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
