Yeah, a storm is threatening
My very life today
If I don't get some shelter

Lord, I'm gonna fade away

War, children, yeah, it's just a shot away

It's just a shot away
War, children, yeah, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away, hey, yeah


Oh, see the fire is sweepin'
At our streets today

Burnin' like a red coal carpet
A mad bull lost it's way


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

It's just a shot away, hey, yeah

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
Yeah, a storm is threatening

My very life today
A gimme, a gimme shelter
Or I'm gonna fade away


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

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

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

I tell love, sister, yeah, it's just a kiss away

I tell love, sister, yeah, 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, it's just a kiss away

It's just a kiss away, it's just a kiss away
Kiss away, kiss away, kiss away, kiss away


Gimme shelter, yeah, gimme shelter, yeah
Gimme shelter, yeah, gimme shelter
Gimme shelter, gimme shelter
