It's Christmas time, and 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

 But say a prayer to 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

 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 or rivers flow
 Do they know it's Christmas time at all?

 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?

 Feed the world
 Feed the world

 Feed the world; let them know it's Christmas time
 And feed the world; let them know it's Christmas time
 And feed the world; let them know it's Christmas time
 And feed the world; let them know it's Christmas time
