Do They Know It's Christmas? (2014)

It's Christmas time

There's no need to be afraid

At Christmas time we let in light and 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 while you're having fun

There's a world outside your window

And it's a world of dread and fear

Where a kiss of love can kill you

And there's death in every tear

And the Christmas bells that ring there

Are the clanging chimes of doom

Well, tonight we're reaching out and touching you

Bring peace and joy this Christmas to West Africa

A song of hope and there's no hope tonight, ooh

Why is coming first to be feared?

Why is to touch to be scared?

How can they know it's Christmas time at all?

Here's to you

Raise a glass to everyone

Here's to them

And all their years to come

How they know it's Christmas time at all?

Feed the world, let them know it's Christmas time again

Feel the world, let them know it's Christmas time again

Heal the world, let them know it's Christmas time again

Feed the world, let them know it's Christmas time again

Feel the world, let them know it's Christmas time again

Heal the world, let them know it's Christmas time again
