Do They Know It's Christmas? (1984 Version) Lyrics - Singles - Band Aid

It's Christmas time, and there's no need to be afraid 

At Christmas time, 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 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 they'll have is being alive 

Why is comfort deadly fear 

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 

Can they know it's Christmas time at all 

Feed the world, let them know it's Christmas time again 

Feed 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 

Heal 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 

Heal the world, let them know it's Christmas time again 

Heal the world
