It's Christmas time 
 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 
 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 and there's no hope tonight, ooh 
 Why is coming first 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 
 How 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
