Oh, a storm is threatening my very life today
If I don't get some shelter, oh Lord, 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

Ooh, see the fire is sweeping our very street today
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....

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

Oh, a storm is threatening 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

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