Oh a storm is threat'ning my very life today
If I don't get some shelter
Oh 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 

See the fire sweepin' out very street today
Burns like a red coal carpet, mad bull lost its 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 

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 

The floods is threat'ning my very life today.
Gimme, gimme shelter or I'm gonna fade away 

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 

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, it's just a kiss away
