Oh a 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 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 sweeping
Through our street today
It 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

Oh the flood is threatening
My very life today
Oh gimme gimme shelter
Or else 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

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

War children
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
