Intro:
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
Bridge:
Ooh, see the fire is sweepin', my 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
Bridge:
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 yeahh yeahhhhh
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
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
