Ooh, a storm is threatening My very life today If I don't get some shelter Ooh, 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, yeah
Ooh, see the fire is sweeping Our very streets today Burns like a red-coal carpet Mad bull, lost your way
War, children, yeah It's just a shot away It's just a shot away War, children, yeah 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, yeah 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, yeah
Mmm, a flood is threatening My very life today Gimme, gimme shelter Or I'm going to 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
