Juletekster: 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 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.

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 or rivers flow.

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.
