Ooh, a storm is threatening
My very life today
If I don't get some shelter
Ooh yeah, I'm gonna fade away

War, children
It's just a shot away, it's just a shot away
War, children
It's just a shot away, it's just a shot away

Ooh, the fire is sweeping
Our very streets today
Burns like a red-coal carpet
Mad bull lost your way

War, children
It's just a shot away, it's just a shot away
War, children
It's just a shot away, it's just a shot away

Hey, hey

Rape, murder
It's just a shot away, it's just a shot away
Rape, murder
It's just a shot away, it's just a shot away
Rape, murder
It's just a shot away, it's just a shot away
Mmm, the flood is threatening
My very life today
Gimme, gimme shelter
Or I'm going to fade away

War, children
It's just a shot away, it's just a shot away
War, children
It's just a shot away, it's just a shot away

I tell you love, sister
It's just a kiss away, it's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away, it's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away, kiss away, kiss away
