Do They Know It's Christmas?

Jessica Wahls


It`s Christmas time 
There`s no need to be afraid
At Christmas time 
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 Christmas time 

But say a prayer (say a prayer) 
Pray for the other ones
At Christmas time it`s hard 
But when your having fun (having fun) 

There`s a world outside your window 
There`s a world of dread and fear 
Where the only water flowing 
Is a bitter sting of tears

And the Christmas bells that ring there 
Are the clanging chimes of doom 
Well tonight thank God it`s 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 nor rivers flow 
Do they know it`s Christmas time at all? 

Here to you 
Raise a glass for everyone 
Here`s to them 
Underneath that burning sun 
Do they know it`s Christmas time at all?
