It's Christmas time
There's no need to be afraid
At christmas time, we let in light and 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 while you're having fun
There's a world outside your window
And it's a world of dread and fear
Where the kiss of a love can kill you
And there is death in every tear
And the Christmas bells that ring, they
Are the clanging chimes of doom
Well, tonight we're reaching out and touching you

No peace or joy this Christmas in West Africa
A song of hope where there's no hope tonight
Why is to comfort to fear
Why is to touch to be scared
How can they it's Christmas time at all?

Here's to you
Raise a glass for everyone
Here's to them
And all their years to come
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?

Heal the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again
Heal the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again
Heal the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again
Heal the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again

Heal the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again
Heal the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again
Heal the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again
Heal the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again
