Lyrics

Oh, see the storm is threatening
My very life today
If I don't get some shelter
Yeah, I'm gonna fade away
War, children
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
War, children
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away, yeah
Oh, see the fire is sweeping me
Down through the streets today
I'm burning like a bright red carpet
Another fool who lost the way
Rape, murder
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
Rape, murder
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away, yeah
Oh, see the storm is threatening
My very life today
Gimme, gimme shelter
Yeah, or I'm gonna fade away
Love, sisters
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
Love, sisters
It's just a shot away
Shot away, shot away
War, children
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
War, children
It's just a kiss away
Kiss away, kiss away
Rape, murder
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
Rape, murder
It's just a kiss away
Kiss away, kiss away
Love, sisters
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
Love, sisters
It's just a shot away
Shot away, shot away
War, children
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
War, children
It's just a kiss away
Kiss away, kiss away
Rape, murder
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
Rape, murder
It's just a kiss away
Kiss away, kiss away
Love, sisters
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
Love, sisters
It's just a shot away
Shot away, shot away
War, children
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
War, children
It's just a kiss away
Kiss away, kiss away
Rape, murder
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
Rape, murder
It's just a kiss away
Kiss away, kiss away
Love, sisters
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
Love, sisters
It's just a shot away
Shot away, shot away
War, children
It's just a kiss away
Kiss away
Kiss away
