Uhhhh, uhhhh
Uhhhh, uhhhh
Oh, a storm is threatning my every life today
I fi don't get no shelter, oh yeah, I'm gonna fade away
Oh, children
It's just a shot away, it's just a shot away
Oh, children
It's just a shot away, it's just a shot away
See the fire is sweeping, our very street today
Feel the burn like a red coal carpet, mad bull lost its way
Oh, children
It's just a shot away, it's just a shot away
Oh, children
It's just a shot away, it's just a shot away
Oh, it's just a shot away
Baby, yeah
Mmm, the floods is threatning, my very life today
Gimme, now gimme shelter, ho lord, I'm gonna fade away
Oh, children
It's just a shot away, it's just a shot away
Oh, children
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
I tell you, love, sister, it's just a kiss away
Kiss away, kiss away
Mmmm
Yeah, just a kiss away
Mmm, yeah a saturday
I tell you, love, sister, it's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away, kiss away, kiss away
