The whole world's broke and it ain't worth fixing It's time to start all
over make a new beginning There's too much pain too much suffering Let's
resolve to start all over make a new beginning Now don't get me wrong I
love life and living But when you wake up and look around at everything
that's going down all wrong you see we need too change it now this world
with too few happy endings We can resolve to start all over make a new
beginning Start all over Start all over Start all over Start all
over The world is broken into fragments and pieces that once were joined
together in a unified whole But now too many stand alone There's too
much separation We can resolve to come together in the new beginning
Start all over Start all over Start all over Start all over We can
break the cycle We can break the chain
We can start all over In the new beginning We can learn We can teach We
can share the myths the dream the prayer
The notion that we can do better Change our lives and paths Create a new
world And start all over The whole world's broke and it ain't worth
fixing It's time to start all over make a new beginning There's too much
fighting too little understanding It's time to stop and start all over
Make a new beginning Start all over Start all over Start all over Start
all over We need to make new symbols Make new signs Make a new language
With these we'll redefine the world And start all over Start all over
Start all over Start all over...(Bob Geldof & Midge Ure)

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
(Oooh) 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
Repeat then fade
