Lyrics for Do They Know It’s Christmas?

[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]
But say a prayer
Pray for the other ones
At Christmas time it’s hard

[Simon LeBon (Duran Duran)]
But when you’re having fun
There’s a world outside your window
And it’s a world of dread and fear

[Sting]
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, Marilyn & Glenn Gregory]
Underneath that burning sun
Do they know it’s Christmas time at all?
