[Paul Young] It's Christmas time There's no need to be afraid At Christmas time We let in light and we banish shade [Boy George] And in our world of plenty We can spread a smile of joy Throw your arms around the world At Christmas time [George Michael & Simon LeBon (Duran Duran)] But say a prayer Pray for the other ones At Christmas time it's hard But when you're having fun [Simon LeBon, & Sting] There's a world outside your window And it's a world of dread and fear [Sting, & Simon LeBon] Where the only water flowing Is the bitter sting of tears [Bono, & Sting] And the Christmas bells that ring there Are the clanging chimes of doom [Bono] Well, tonight thank God it's them Instead of you [Boy George & Others] And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time The greatest gift they'll get this year is life (Oooh) Where nothing ever grows, no rain or rivers flow Do they know it's Christmas time at all? [Marilyn & Glenn Gregory] Here's to you [Paul Young] Raise a glass for everyone [Marilyn & Glenn Gregory] Here's to them [Paul Young] Underneath that burning sun [Paul Young, Marilyn & Glenn Gregory] Do they know it's Christmas time at all? [Chorus: All] Feed the world Let them know it's Christmas time again [Chorus repeat forever, fade out]
