Do They Know It's Christmas (№1. List of best-selling singles of the 1980s in the UK- 3,550,000 sales)
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 - 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 dreaded fear Where the only water flowing is a 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 your glass for everyone Here's to them Underneath that burning sun
Do they know it's christmas time at all?
