Barenaked Ladies

Verse 1:
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
Verse 2:
But say a prayer, and 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 dread and fear
And the only water flowing
Is the bitter sting of tears
And the Christmas bells that ring there
Are the clanging chimes of doom
Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you
Verse 3:
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 river flows
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?

Bridge:
Here's to you raise a glass for everyone
Here's to them underneath that burning sun
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?
