Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh a storm is threat'ning
My very life today
If I don't get some shelter
Oh yes, I'm gonna fade away
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
Oh, see the fire is sweepin'
Our very street today
Burns like a red coal carpet
Mad bull lost its way
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
Oh, a storm is threat'ning
My very life today
If I don't get some shelter
Oh yeah, I'm gonna fade away
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
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
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
[Verse 8]
He may love my brother, it's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
He may love my brother, 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
It's just a kiss away
It's just some love away
It's just some love away
It's just some love away
It's just some love away
