It's Christmas time
There's no need to be afraid
At Christmas time
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 Christmas time
But say a prayer
Pray for the other ones
At Christmas time, it's hard
But when you're having fun
There's a world outside your window
And it's a world of dreaded fear
Where the only water flowing
Is a bitter sting of tears
And the Christmas bells that ring there
Are the clanging chimes of doom
We'll, tonight, thank God, it's them
Instead of you

And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life
Where nothing ever grows, no rain or rivers flow
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?
Here's to you
Raise your glass for everyone
Here's to them
Underneath that burning sun
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?
Feed the world
Feed the world
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time and
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time and
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time and

Nothing like a gaggle of billionaire rock stars trying to put you on a guilt trip because some non-democratic country let itself be taken over by a ruthless dictator. An entire song written for the sole purpose of sucking the joy out of the holidays.

This song was originally written and recorded to raise money for Ethiopian famine and poverty relief. The song was extremely popular and successful, and considerable money was raised for live aid. It doesn't take a tremendous amount of work to find this information, either, Amber. You just couldn't be bothered, because it's easier on you and your conscience to vilify the "billionaire rock stars" who were actually devoting their time and skills to making the world a better place. What have you done lately? How proud your parents must be.
