       Oh I see the storm is threatening, my very life today
        If I dont get some shelter, Yeah I'm gonna fade away

        War children, its just a kiss away, its just a kiss away
        War children, its just a kiss away, its just a kiss away
        Yeah...

        Oh I see the fire is sweeping, out on the streets today
        Burn me like a blood red carpet, the fool lost the way

        Rape, Murder, its just a kiss away , its just a kiss away
        Rape, Murder, its just a kiss away , its just a kiss away
        Yeah...

        Oh I see the storm is threatening, my very life today
        Gimmie gimmie shelter, yeah I'm gonna fade away

        Love, sister, its just a shot away, it's just a shot away
        Love, sister, its just a shot away, shot away, shot away
        War children, its just a kiss away, its just a kiss away
        War children, its just a kiss away, its just a kiss away
        Rape, Murder, its just a kiss away , its just a kiss away
        Rape, Murder, its just a kiss away , its just a kiss away
                                                        (Repeat to fade...)
