Oh, see the 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 kiss away
It's just a kiss away
Repeat
Yeah

Oh, see the fire is sweeping
Down through the streets today
Burning like a bright red carpet
Another fool who lost the way

Rape, murder
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
Repeat
Yeah

Oh, see the storm is threatening
My very life today
Gimme, gimme shelter
Yeah, I'm gonna fade away

Love, sisters
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
Love, sisters
It's just a shot away
Shot away shot away

War, children
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
Repeat

Rape, murder
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
Rape, murder
It's just a kiss away
Kiss away
Kiss away

Repeat previous three twice
Repeat love chorus

War, children
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
Kiss away kiss away
