Bob Geldof and Midge Ure

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

But say a prayer
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
Where 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

And 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 nor rivers flow
Do they know it’s Christmas time at all?

Here’s to you
Raise a glass for everyone
Spare a thought this yuletide for the deprived
If the tables turned would you survive?
Here’s to them
Underneath that burning sun
You ain’t gotta feel good just selfless
Give a little help to the helpless

Do they know it’s Christmas time at all?

Feed the world
Feed the world
Feed the world
Feed the world

Feed the world
Let them know it’s Christmas time
Feed the world
Let them know it’s Christmas time
Feed the world
Let them know it’s Christmas time
Feed the world
Let them know it’s Christmas time

Feed the world
Feed the world
Feed the world
Feed the world
Feed the world
Feed the world
Feed the world
Feed the world

One day i will be
Back in our old street
Safe from the noise that’s
Falling around me

And we’ll release this town from the people
Who are trying to knock it down
And then only city lights will brighten the night sky
And there will be no sound

Open the bars and
Open the markets
Open the banks and
Open the churches

And we’ll release this town from the people
Who are trying to knock it down
And then only city lights will brighten the night sky
And there will be no sound

We’ve been cowering so long
Oh what i would give
To stand at the bus stop
Or browse in a bookshop
To sleep and always be still

And we’ll release this town from the people
Who are trying to knock it down
And then only city lights will brighten the night sky
And i will be set free from the people
Who are trying to bury me
And then only fireworks will light the sky at night
For all the world can see

I wanna hand you my heart and let you carry the load
Nobody tells you anything you need to know
I need a friend but a friend is so hard to find
I need an answer but I’m always one step behind

Cause it takes time
Learning to fly

Do you ever feel like all you want is to go home
To kiss the earth, to weave a way through this storm
Some days I rage like a fire in the wilderness
Some days I only need the darkness and a place to rest

Oh it takes time
(It takes time)
Learning to fly

Tear up this town
Blinking in the sunlight as the walls come down
This fire will burn
Digging for a truth that just can’t be found
Don’t want your lessons in love
I want to tear it all up

I need a friend but a friend is so hard to find
I need an answer but I’m always one step behind
Oh it takes time
(It takes time)
Yes, it takes time
(It takes time)
Learning to fly

Tear up this town
Blinking in the sunlight as the walls come down
This fire will burn
Digging for a truth that just can’t be found
Don’t want your lessons in love
I want to tear it all up
