Do They Know It's Christmas? (2014) Lyrics

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

But say a prayer and pray for the other ones

At Christmas time it's hard but while you're having fun

There's a world outside your window and it's a world of dread and fear

Where a kiss of love can kill you

Where there's death in every tear

And the Christmas bells that ring there are the clanging chimes of doom

Well, tonight we're reaching out and touching you

Bring peace and joy this Christmas to West Africa

A song of hope where there's no hope tonight

Why is comfort to be feared, why is to touch to be scared?

How can they know it's Christmas time at all?


Here's to you

Raise a glass to everyone

Here's to them

And all there is to come

Can they know it's Christmas time at all?

Heal the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again

Heal the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again

Heal the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again

Heal the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again

Heal the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again

Heal the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again


Heal the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again

Heal the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again
