1. Oh the storm is threatening
My very life today
If I dont get some shelter
I'm gonna fade away

R1: 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

2. See the fire sweeping
Our very streets today
Burns like red coal carpet
Mad bull lost his way

R1: War children...

R2: Well mother (or murder?) it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away
Well mother/murder it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away

R3: Brothers sisters, it's just a kiss away, it's just a kiss away
well mother/murder it's just a kiss away, kiss away, kiss away
