Let them know it's Christmas time
Let them know it's Christmas time again
It's Christmas time and 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 and pray for the other ones
At Christmas time it's hard but while you're having fun
There's a world outside your window and it's a world of dread and fear
And a kiss of love can kill you
Where there's death in every tear
And the Christmas bells that ring there are the clanging chimes of doom
Well, tonight we're reaching out and touching you. Yeah!
Let them know it's Christmas time
Let them know it's Christmas time again
Bring peace and joy this Christmas back to Africa
A song of hope where there's no hope tonight
Why is comfort to be feared?
Why is it to touch to be scared?
How can they know it's Christmas time at all?
Let them know it's Christmas time
Let them know it's Christmas time again
Yo! Here's to you, big respect to everyone
Here's to them and all their years to come

Can they know it's Christmas time at all?
Feed the world let them know it's Christmas time
Heal the world let them know it's Christmas time
Feed the world let them know it's Christmas time
Heal the world let them know it's Christmas time again
Feed the world let them know it's Christmas time
Heal the world let them know it's Christmas time again
