Christmas Sing Along-- Bourgoesie

group:  Bourgoesie

members:  Lynn, Jennifer, Gina, Fan

 

Do They Know It's Christmas

 

It's a meaning for song.  It's a song for the Africa refugees, because they were suffered from famine.  Many singers took parts in this chores, just like Taiwan's 明天會更好 & 手牽手.  The song had a big influence on the world. A lot of people donated money to the refugees.  It has two versions. In 2005, the song was sung again by other singers, but U2's leader vocal, Bono, is the only person who took in the two versions.

 

 

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
But say a prayer
Pray for the other ones at Christmastime 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 Christmastime
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life
Ooh Where nothing ever grows
No rain nor rivers flow
Do they know it's Christmastime at all

( Here's to you ) raise a glass for everyone
( Here's to them ) underneath that burning sun
Do they know it's Christmastime at all
Feed the world, feed the world, feed the world
Let them know it's Christmastime again

Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmastime again

The first song is perfect. I enjoyed a lot in the atmosphere the song created. I was almost moved to tears. I got to know one more famous song through you. Thanks a lot.
