Do They Know Its Christmas — текст песни (George Michael)

Its christmastime

Theres 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 its hard, but when youre having fun

Theres a world outside your window

And its 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 its them instead of you



And there wont be snow in africa this christmastime

The greatest gift theyll get this year is life

(oooh) where nothing ever grows

No rain nor rivers flow

Do they know its christmastime at all?



(heres to you) raise a glass for everyone

(heres to them) underneath that burning sun

Do they know its christmastime at all?



Feed the world

Feed the world



Feed the world



Let them know its christmastime again



Feed the world

Let them know its christmastime again



Repeat then fade
