there's a world outside your window...

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 dreaded fear
Where the only water flowing is a 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

Where nothing ever grows
No rain or rivers flow

Do they know it's christmas time at all?

Here's to you
Raise your glass for everyone
Here's to them
Underneath that burning sun

Do they know it's christmas time at all?

Feed the world
Let them know it's christmas time

(Desde 1984 que esta musica me toca e me faz ficar com uma lágrima no canto do olho (tipo Bonga). Um grupo de artistas europeus juntou-se para formar a Band Aid e gravar esta musica, cujas receitas da venda seriam para ajudar a combater a fome em África. Para recordar e para dar a conhecer a quem vai comentar que estava a nascer nesse ano...(TH))
