Ooh, the storm is threatening 
My very life today 
If I don't get me no shelter 
I think 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 
See the fire sweeping 
My very street today 
Somebody oughta gimme shelter 
Or I think 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 
Rape, murder 
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 kiss away 
Kiss away, kiss me 
Somebody, give me shelter 
Give me shelter, somebody 
Give me shelter 
The flood is threatening 
My very life today 
Gimme, why don't you 
Gimme some shelter 
Or I think 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, shot away 
It's just a kiss away 
It's just a kiss away 
Kiss, kiss, away...
