Do They Know It's Christmas - Band Aid
=========================================================
INTRO . . . . .
It's Christ-mas time
There's no need to be a-fraid

At Christ-mas time
We let in light and we ban-ish shame

And in our world of plen-ty
We can spread a smile of joy

- - Throw your arms a-round the world
at Christ-mas time

- But say a prayer
Pray - for the oth-er ones

At Christ-mas time
It's hard - but when you're hav-ing fun

There's a world out-side your win-dow
And it's a world of dread and fear

Where the on-ly wat-er flow-ing
is the bit-ter sting of tears

And the Christ-mas bells that ring there
are the clang-ing chimes of doom

Well to-night thank God it's them
In-stead of you

And there won't be snow in Af-ri-ca
this Christ-mas time

The great-est gift they'll
get this year is life

Oh, - where noth-ing ev-er grows
No rain or riv-ers flow

Do they know It's
Christ-mas time at all?

Here's to you
Raise your glass to eve-ry-one
Here's to them

Un-der-neath that burn-ing sun
Do they know it's Christ-mas time at all?
