Lyrics

It's Christmas time, there's no need to be afraid [Chris Martin]
At Christmas time, we let in light and we banish shade [Chris Martin]

And in our world of plenty we can spread a smile of joy [Dido]
Throw your arms around the world at Christmas time [Dido]

But say a prayer, pray for the other ones [Robbie Williams]
At Christmas time it's hard, but when you're having fun [Robbie Williams]

There's a world outside your window [Sugababes]
And it's a world of dread and fear [Sugababes]
It's the better sting of tears [Sugababes & Fran Healy]

And the Christmas bells that ring [Fran Healy & Justin Hawkins]
There are clanging chimes of doom [Fran Healy & Justin Hawkins]
Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you [Bono]

And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time [Will Young & Jamelia]
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life [Will Young & Jamelia]
(Ooooh) Where nothing ever grows [Ms. Dynamite & Beverly Knight]
No rain nor rivers flow [Ms. Dynamite & Beverly Knight]

Do they know it's Christmas time at all [Group of 10 & Joss Stone]
Here's to you [Tom Chaplin]
Raise a glass for everyone [Justin Hawkins]

Spare a thought this yuletide for the deprived [Dizzee Rascal]
If the table was turned would you survive [Dizzee Rascal]

Here's to them [Busted]
Underneath that burning sun [Justin Hawkins]

You ain't gotta feel guilt just selfless [Dizzee Rascal]
Give a little help to the helpless [Dizzee Rascal]

Do they know it's Christmas time at all [Joss Stone & Justin Hawkins]
Feed the world [Thom Chaplin]
Feed the world [Tom Chaplin & Chris Martin]
Feed the world [Tom Chaplin & Chris Martin & Sugababes]
Feed the world, let them know it's christmas time [Everyone]

Woooo [Fran Healy]
Feed the world [Group of 10]
