Song Lyrics:
It’s Christmastime
And there’s no need to be afraid
At Christmastime
We let in light and we banish shade
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
But say a prayer
But say a prayer
Pray for the other ones
At Christmastime / At Christmastime
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 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
Well tonight we’re reaching out and touching you
Bring peace and joy to everywhere this Christmas
The greatest gift we share each year is life
Why is comfort to be feared?
Why is to touch to be scared?
Do they know it’s Christmastime at all?
Here’s to you
Raise a glass to everyone
Here’s to them
Underneath that burning sun
Here’s to them
And all there is to come
Do they know it’s Christmastime?
Do they know it’s Christmastime?
Do they know it’s Christmastime at all?
Feed the world
Feed the world
Feed the world
Spare a thought this yuletide for the deprived
If the table was turned would you survive?
Feed the world
You ain’t gotta feel guilt, just selfless
Give a little help to the helpless
Feed the world
Let them know it’s Christmastime
Feed the world
Let them know it’s Christmastime
