Lyrics
Ooh, a storm is threateningMy very life todayIf I don’t get some shelterOoh yeah I’m gonna fade away
War, childrenIt’s just a shot awayIt’s just a shot awayWar, childrenIt’s just a shot awayIt’s just a shot away
Ooh, see the fire is sweepin’Our streets todayBurns like a red coal carpetMad bull lost its way
War, childrenIt’s just a shot awayIt’s just a shot awayWar, childrenIt’s just a shot awayIt’s just a shot away
Rape, murder, it’s just a shot awayIt’s just a shot awayRape, murder, yeah, it’s just a shot awayIt’s just a shot awayRape, murder, it’s just a shot awayIt’s just a shot away
Mmm, a flood is threateningMy very life todayGimme, gimme shelterOr I’m gonna fade away
War, childrenIt’s just a shot awayIt’s just a shot awayIt’s just a shot awayIt’s just a shot awayIt’s just a shot away
I tell you love, sisterIt’s just a kiss awayIt’s just a kiss awayIt’s just a kiss awayIt’s just a kiss awayIt’s just a kiss awayKiss away, kiss away
