Do They Know It's Christmas?(douzeinouittsukurisumasu) Rake

Its Christmastime ,
theres no need to be afraid
At Christmastime ,
we let in light and 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 lifeOooh
Where nothing ever grows
No rain or 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 ?
