Kylie Minogue - Band Aid 2---do They Know It’s Christmas lyrics

Written: midge ure, bob geldof

1:

It's christmas time

There's no need to be afraid

At christmas time

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 christmas time

2:

But say a prayer

Pray for the other ones

At christmas time 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

Feed the world

Let them know it's christmas time

Feed the world

Do they know it's christmas time at all?

3:

And there won't be snow in africa

This christmas time

The greatest gift they'll get this year is life

Where nothing ever grows

No rain nor rivers flow

Do they know it's christmas time at all?

Feed the world

Let them know it's christmas time

Feed the world

Let them know it's christmas time again

Bridge:

(here's to you) raise a glass for everyone

(here's to them) underneath that burning sun

Do they know it's christmas time at all?

End:

Feed the world

Let them know it's christmas time

End:

(repeat & fade)
