|       |        |      |     

              |    |                 |                |
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, Ohhhh
      |           |
Where nothing ever grows
   |              |
No rain nor rivers flow
|               |               |      |   
Do they know it's Christmastime at all?

|
Here's to you
|
Raise a glass for everyone
|
Spare a thought this yuletide for the deprived
|
If the table was turned would you survive
|
Here's to them
|
Underneath that burning sun
|
You ain't gotta feel guilt just selfless
|
Give a little help to the helpless
|                |               
Do they know it's Christmastime at
|       |        |      |     
all?
