BAND AID | Do They Know It's Christmas? | Lyrics

It's Christmastime, there's 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 to pray for the other ones
At Christmastime, it's hard, but when you're having fun
There's a world outside your window, and it's 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 it's them instead of you

And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmastime
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life
Where nothing ever grows, no rain or rivers flow
Do they know it's Christmastime at all?

Here's to you, raise a glass for ev’ryone
Here's to them, underneath that burnin’ sun
Do they know it's Christmastime at all?

Feed the world
Feed the world

Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmastime again

This song is one of the only songs that always gives me goosebumps. It just helps you recognise how there are people in the world with nothin and to appreciate the things we have.

I cry every time I hear and sing this song. God's blessings is on everyone.

this song whispers in our ears that we still have a lot to improve as human beings

[jacobite]

Timeless song, will never cease to be relevant we must always stand up for everyone no matter the time of year.

Reminds me of being a little kid at my aunts house decorating cookies and crafting with family. We all don't talk to eachother since she passed away. I miss how simple things felt. ❤

This may be my favorite Christmas song

[Tang_Master]

This song never died, never will, and doesent even have to, im just glad it gives me hope for peace in Christmas.

[fatalwreck]

Had always heard this song a million times in years past, but this year for some reason it intrigued me more than ever... then tonight i see the video for it for the very first time and i was amazed. No wonder there was something about this song that stood out to me the most. Turned out to be an 80’s all-star musician cast that contributed to this clever beautiful christmas track wit a very important message. Just brilliant!

[Purduebasketball]

Will Ferrell and the crew do such a good job singing this

[elizabethgirard]

[hollyburton]

This is like one of the best songs ever

Love this song, and the meaning behind it is immense BUT every time I hear it now I think of Daddy's Home 2 🎄🎅😃

[SmileyZuki]

This song is so crazy. I had to come to search up the lyrics so I can make sure what I was hearing was right 😭

Has it been 37 years since this came out? CLASSIC!!! I had just turned 16 the month before

[spyra_]

This song always brings a smile to my face

[charlesnichols]
