It's Christmas time,       there's no need to be afraid 
             F7M     G                   C9
At Christmas time,  we let in light and we banish shade 
           F7M    G
And in our world of plenty 
       C9              F7M
We can spread a smile of joy 
           Dm7               G                  C9
Throw your arms around the world at Christmas time 

Verse 2:
           F7M   G                  C9     C7
But say a prayer,    and pray for the other ones 
             F7M       G                    C9
At Christmas time it's hard, but when you're having fun 
          F7M                G
There's a world outside your window 
           C9                F7M
And it's a world of dread and fear 
        Dm7          G
And the only water flowing 
       C9            F7M
Is the bitter sting of tears 
        Dm7                     G
And the Christmas bells that ring there 
        C9                F7M
Are the clanging chimes of doom 
        Dm7                   G               C9
Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you

There won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time
    F7M                 G                C9
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life
      F7M        G         C9          F7M
Where nothing ever grows, no rain or river flows
Dm7               G
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?
