Do They Know It's Christmas lyrics
by George Michael



(bob geldof & midge ure)Performed by band aidRecorded on november 25, 1986It's christmastimeThere's no need to be afraidAt christmastime, we let in light and we banish shadeAnd in our world of plenty we can spread a smile of joyThrow your arms around the world at christmastimeBut say a prayerPray for the other onesAt christmastime it's hard, but when you're having funThere's a world outside your windowAnd it's a world of dread and fearWhere the only water flowing is the bitter sting of tearsAnd the christmas bells that ring there are the clangingChimes of doomWell tonight thank God it's them instead of youAnd there won't be snow in africa this christmastimeThe greatest gift they'll get this year is life(oooh) where nothing ever growsNo rain nor rivers flowDo they know it's christmastime at all? (here's to you) raise a glass for everyone(here's to them) underneath that burning sunDo they know it's christmastime at all? Feed the worldFeed the worldFeed the worldLet them know it's christmastime againFeed the worldLet them know it's christmastime againRepeat then fade
