It's Christmas time, there's no need to be afraid
F G C
At Christmas time, we let in light and we banish shade
F 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
F G C
But say a prayer, and pray for the other ones
F G C
At Christmas time it's hard, but while 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
Where a kiss of love can kill you
C F
And there’s death in every tear
Dm G
And the Christmas bells that ring there
C F
Are the clanging chimes of doom
Dm G C
Well tonight we’re reaching out and touching you
F G C
Bring peace and joy this Christmas to West Africa
F G C
A song of hope when there’s no hope tonight
F G
Why is comfort to be feared?
C F
Why is to touch to be scared?
Dm G C F C
How can they know it's Christmas time at all?
Am G
Here's to you, raise a glass to everyone
Am G
Here's to them, and all their years to come
F G C
Can they know it's Christmas time at all?
F C
Feed the world
F C Dm G
Let them know it’s Christmas time again
C F C
Feel the world
F C Dm G
Let them know it’s Christmas time again
C F C
Heal the world
F C Dm G C
Let them know it’s Christmas time again
