Band Aid - "Do They Know It's Christmas?" (2024 Ultimate Mix / 40th Anniversary Video)
It’s Christmastime
And there’s no need to be afraid
At Christmastime
We let in light and we banish shade
It’s Christmastime
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
Ahhh ahhhh ahhhhh
But say a prayer
Dawn, and as the sun breaks through the piercing chill of night on the plains outside Korem, it lights up a biblical famine, now, in the 20th century.
There’s a world outside your window
And it’s a world of dread and fear
This place say workers here, is the closest place to hell on earth.
Feed the world
It’s Christmas
Nineteen Eighty Four
Spare a thought this yuletide for the deprived
If the table was turned would you survive?
You ain’t gotta feel guilt, just selfless
Give a little help to the helpless
Let them know it’s Christmastime.
Feed the world
People scramble in the dirt as they go for each individual grain of wheat
That may be the only food they’ve had for a fortnight or more.
Feed the world
Feed the world
This three year old girl was beyond any help unable to take food
Attached to a drip, but too late the drip was taken away
Only minutes later while we were filming she died
The mother had lost all her four children and the father
This mother and the baby she born four months ago, wrapped together in death
Feed the world
This place say workers here, is the closest place to hell on earth.
Spare a thought this yuletide for the deprived
If the table was turned would you survive?
You ain’t gotta feel guilt, just selfless
Give a little help to the helpless
Christmas day
Nineteen eighty-four
But say a prayer
But say a prayer
But say a prayer
Pray for the other ones
At Christmastime / 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 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
Well tonight thank God it’s them instead of you
Well tonight we’re reaching out and touching you
Bring peace and joy to everywhere this Christmas
The greatest gift we share each year is life
Why is comfort to be feared?
Why is to touch to be scared?
Do they know it’s Christmastime at all?
Here’s to you
Raise a glass to everyone
Here’s to them
Underneath that burning sun
Here’s to them
And all there is to come
Do they know it’s Christmastime?
Do they know it’s Christmastime?
Do they know it’s Christmastime at all?
Feed the world
Feed the world
Feed the world
Spare a thought this yuletide for the deprived
If the table was turned would you survive?
Feed the world
You ain’t gotta feel guilt, just selfless
Give a little help to the helpless
Feed the world
Let them know it’s Christmastime
Feed the world
Let them know it’s Christmastime
Feed the world
Feed the world
Let them know it’s Christmastime again
