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 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 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 And 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 there is to come Can they know it's Christmas time at all Feed the world, let them know it's Christmas time again Feel 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 Feel 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 Feel the world let them know it's Christmas time again
