Angelique Kidjo - Gimme Shelter lyrics

rate me

Oh, a storm is threat'ning

My very life today

If I don't get some shelter

Oh yeah, 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 sweepin'

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

Rape, murder!

It's just a shot away

It's just a shot away

The floods is threat'ning

My very life today

Gimme, gimme, gimme shelter

Or 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 (shot away)

It's just a shot away

I tell you love, sister, it's just a kiss away (come on now)

It's just a kiss away

It's just a kiss away

(Let's call my sisters, let's love my brother)

It's just a kiss away

(I love sisters, I love my brothers,

I love my mother, I love my father)

It's just a kiss away

We need a kiss today

Just a kiss away

It's just a kiss away, hey!
