Do They Know It's Christmas Time?
Band Aid Lyrics

It's Christmastime, there's no need to be afraid
During Christmastime, we should focus on spreading joy and banishing any fears.

At Christmastime, we let in light and we banish shade
Christmas is a time of bringing hope, light, and positivity into the world.

And in our world of plenty we can spread a smile of joy
With all the abundance and blessings we've been given, we have the power to brighten someone's day and make them happy.

Throw your arms around the world at Christmastime
Let's embrace and show love to people from all around the world during Christmas.

But say a prayer, pray for the other ones
As we celebrate, let's remember those who are going through tough times and offer them prayers and support.

At Christmastime it's hard, but when you're having fun
It can be difficult to remember those in need during the festive season, but we should still make an effort to help others.

There's a world outside your window
The reality of the world can be harsh and difficult for many people.

And it's a world of dread and fear
Too many people are living in fearful circumstances due to various reasons, and it's a global concern.

Where the only water flowing
In certain areas of the world, lack of proper resources means basic human needs, such as clean water, are hard to come by.

Is the bitter sting of tears
The suffering of individuals is evident and visible through their tears.

And the Christmas bells that ring there are the clanging chimes of doom
The sound of Christmas may bring sadness instead of joy for those who are heavily affected by poverty.

Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you
Appreciate what you have and be thankful for the blessings in your life, because even something as basic as clean water may be considered a luxury in other regions.

And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmastime
Africa doesn't share in the traditional Christmas experience of snow and cold, but suffers from its own set of severe problems.

The greatest gift they'll get this year is life
Providing basic needs to impoverished individuals is the greatest gift they could receive during the holiday season.

Where nothing ever grows
Certain parts of the world struggle with food supply due to lack of arable land and climatic conditions.

No rain nor rivers flow
In arid and rain-deprived regions, finding water is a day-to-day struggle for survival.

Do they know it's Christmastime at all?
This portrays the contrast between the festive spirit of Christmas and the harsh realities faced by many individuals worldwide.

Here's to you
Raise a glass in appreciation for yourself and your life.

Raise a glass for everyone
Cheers to everyone in the world for everything they do.

Here's to them
Raise a glass to impoverished individuals who are struggling and suffering.

Underneath that burning sun
Living in hot, arid conditions with scorching temperatures can make an already difficult situation unbearable.

Feed the world
This line serves as a reminder that it is our responsibility to help those who are facing significant struggles.

Let them know it's Christmastime again
For many, Christmas may bring sorrow, but we should remember others and extend our support during this holiday season.
