Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ooh, a storm is threatening
My very life today
If I don't get some shelter
Ooh yeah, I'm gonna fade away
[Chorus]
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
[Instrumental]
Ooh, see the fire is sweepin'
Our very street today
Burns like a red coal carpet
Mad bull lost your way
[Chorus]
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
[Instrumental]
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, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
Mm, the floods is threatening
My very life today
Gimme, gimme shelter
Or I'm gonna fade away
[Chorus]
War, children
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
[Outro]
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
