Gimme Shelter featuring Joss Stone Songtext
von Angélique Kidjo

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 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
It's just a shot away
I tell you love, 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
