Angelique Kidjo - Gimme Shelter Lyrics

[Foreign Content]

Ooh, a storm is threatening
My very life today
If I don't get some shelter
Ooh, yeah, I'm gonna fade away

Whoa, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
Whoa, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away

[Foreign Content]

Ooh, see the fire sweeping
Our very streets someday
Burns like the red coal carpet
Now, truly lost his way

Whoa, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
Whoa, 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
Ooh, rape and 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

[Foreign Content]

Ooh, the flood is threatening
My very light and day
Gimme, gimme, gimme shelter
Ooh, or I'm gonna fade away

Whoa, 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
It's just a shot away

Oh, I tell you, lost sister
It's just a kiss away, it's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away, it's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away, kiss away, kiss away

It's just a kiss away, we need a kiss a day, yeah
Bring peace today
It's just a breath away
It's just a kiss away
