It's Christmas time And 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 our 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 its 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 (ooh) 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 their years to come Let them know it's Christmas after all Feed the world Let them know it's Christmas time again Free the world Let them know it's Christmas time again Heal the world Let them know it's Christmas time again Feed the world Let them know it's Christmas time again Free the world Let them know it's Christmas time again Heal the world Let them know it's Christmas time again Feed the world Let them know it's Christmas time again Free the world Let them know it's Christmas time again Heal the world
