Band Aid – Do They Know It’s Christmas?

Band Aid – Do They Know It’s Christmas? Band Aid is the oldest collective name of a charity supergroup featuring mainly British and Irish musicians and recording artists.

Meanwhile, “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” by Band Aid is a charity song written to raise awareness and money to help people in need, specifically those affected by famine in Africa.

This song asks us to think about people who are suffering and do not have basic needs like food and clean water, especially during the Christmas season, which is a time of giving and celebration.

Band Aid – Do They Know It’s Christmas? Lyrics;

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 (oh)
Where nothing ever grows, no rain nor rivers flow
Do they know it’s Christmas time at all? (oh)

(Here’s to you) Raise a glass for everyone
(Here’s to them) Underneath that burning sun
Do they know it’s Christmas time at all?

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

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

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