Standard (EADGBE)

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 others ones

 At Christmas time it's hard but when your 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 out are the clanging chimes of doom

 Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you!!

Chorus

 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 a glass for everyone

Here's to them underneath that burning sun

Do they know its Christmas time at all?

Feed the world let them know it's X-mas time.
