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 or 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?
