Lyrics

Oooo, oooo, oooo
Oooo, oooo, oooo

Oooo, a storm is threatenin', my very life today
If I don't get some shelter, oh, I'm gonna' fade away

Chorus
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

Oooo, see the fire sweeping, up every street today
Burns like a red-coal carpet, mad bull lost it's way

Chorus

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

Oooo, a storm is threatenin', my very life today
If I don't get some shelter, oh, 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 said a 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, kiss away, kiss away

Chorus

Chorus

Love sister, it's just a kiss away, it's just a kiss away
Love sister, 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
Love sister, 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
Love sister, it's just a kiss away, it's just a kiss away
(Repeat alternation to fade)
