Do They Know It’s Christmas? Lyrics by Band Aid 30

Do They Know It’s Christmas? (German + UK Version)

2014

[Verse 1: One Direction, Ed Sheeran, Rita Ora & Sam Smith]
It’s Christmastime and there’s no need to be afraid
At Christmastime, 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 Christmastime
[Verse 2: Paloma Faith, Emeli Sandé, Guy Garvey, Dan Smith, Angélique Kidjo, Chris Martin, Bono]
But say a prayer, and pray for the other ones
At Christmastime, 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 a kiss of love can kill you and 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
[Verse 3: Seal, Ellie Goulding, Sinead O'Connor, Bono]
Bring peace and joy this Christmas to West Africa
A song of hope where there's no hope tonight
Why is to comfort to be feared
Why is to touch is to be scared
How can they know it’s Christmastime at all?
[Bridge: All, Olly Murs, All, Sam Smith, Rita Ora]
Here’s to you
Raise a glass to everyone
And here’s to them
And all their years to come
How can they know it’s Christmastime at all?
[Chorus: All]
Feed the world, let them know it's Christmastime again
Feed the world, let them know it's Christmastime again
Heal the world, let them know it's Christmastime again
Feed the world, let them know it's Christmastime again
Heal the world, let them know it's Christmastime again
Heal the world, let them know it's Christmastime again
Feed the world, let them know it's Christmastime again
Heal the world, let them know it's Christmastime again
Heal the world
