I guess the more i heard it and listened to the words I got bothered by it... the words like " Thank God its them not you." I would never wish that type of pain or hardship on someone else vs me.... why would I thank God it was them? Am I more deserving to not have pain and suffering... just didnt make sense to me when this was a song to raise money for a special cause. And the part of "they wont have snow in Africa"... Well mostly they dont have snow in Africa-- just because its Christmas doesnt change this-- I dont know-- I guess I just didnt like alot of the lyrics to this song... and then it was played for over kill... which just killed it for me! ok ive always been on the fence for this one– yes in the beginning i sang along… then became one of the turn that off the radio songs when i would hear it— not for the cause and what it stood for– im all into that and think it was an amazing effort for these musicians to come together for something like this… I guess the more i heard it and listened to the words I got bothered by it… the words like ” Thank God its them not you.” I would never wish that type of pain or hardship on someone else vs me…. why would I thank God it was them?
