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

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

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 Christmastime

The greatest gift they'll get this year is life

Where nothing ever grows

No rain nor rivers flow

Do they know it's Christmastime at 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

Feed the world

Let them know it's Christmastime again

(Repeat til end)
