Lletres: Bananarama. Do They Know It's Christmas ?.

It's Christmas time
There's no need to be afraid
At Christmas time
We let in light and we banish hate
And in our world of plenty
We can spread a smile of joy
Throw your arms around the world
At Christmas time

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

And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time

The greatest gift they'll get this year is life
Where nothing ever grows
No rain, no river flows
Do they know it's Christmas time at all

Here's to you raise a glass for everyone
Here's to them underneath that burning sun
Do they know it's Christmas time at all

Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas again
(ad lib)
