1.
It's Christmas time, there's no need to be afraid.
F C
At
Christmas time, we let in light and we banish shade.
Dm
G C F
And in our
world of plenty we can spread a smile of joy,
Dm G C
throw your arms around the world at Christmas time.

G C
2. But say a prayer, pray for the other ones,
F G C
at
Christmas time it's hard, but when you're having fun.
F G
There's a world outside your window,
C F
and
it's a world of dread and fear,
Dm
G C F
where the only water flowing is the bitter sting of
tears.
Dm G
And
the Christmas bells that ring there
C F
are
the clanging chimes of doom.
Dm G C
Well, tonight, thank God, it's them instead of you.
F G C
3. And there won't be snow in Africa this
Christmas time.

time at all?

(Here's to you) raise a glass
for everyone !
Am G F
(Here's to them) underneath
that burning sun !
