Gimme Shelter

[Intro]

[Verse 1: Angélique Kidjo, Joss Stone]
Ooh, a storm is threatening
My very life today
If I don't get some shelter
Ooh, yeah, I'm gonna fade away

[Chorus 1: Angélique Kidjo, Joss Stone, Both]
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

[Verse 2: Angélique Kidjo, Joss Stone, Both]
Ooh, see the fire sweepin'
Our very streets today
Burns like the red coal carpet
Mad bull lost its way

[Chorus 1: Angélique Kidjo, Joss Stone, Both]
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

[Interlude]

[Chorus 2: Angélique Kidjo, Joss Stone, Both]
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

[Verse 2: Angélique Kidjo, Joss Stone]
Ooh, the flood is threatening
My very life today
Gimme, gimme, gimme shelter
Ooh, I'm gonna fade away
Don't fade away

[Chorus 1: Angélique Kidjo, Joss Stone, Both]
War, children
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

[Outro: Angélique Kidjo, Joss Stone]
I told you love, sister
Come one now!
It's just a kiss away, it's just a kiss away
Let's love our sisters
It's just a kiss away
Let's love our brothers
It's just a kiss away
Love our sisters, love our brothers
It's just a kiss away
Love my father, love my mother, yeah
Kiss away, kiss away
It's just a kiss away
We need a kiss today, yeah
Oh, bring peace today
Just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
