Gimmie Shelter

Ooh, a storm is threatening
My very life today
If I don't get some shelter
Ooh 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 your 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 yeah
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
The floods is threatening
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

Its all still happening right this moment!

These songs are so very relevant!

Here are the lyrics:

There's something happening here
But what it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what's going down?
There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
It's time we stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what's going down?
What a field day for the heat (Ooh ooh ooh)
A thousand people in the street (Ooh ooh ooh)
Singing songs and they carrying signs (Ooh ooh ooh)
Mostly say, "Hooray for our side" (Ooh ooh ooh)
It's time we stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what's going down?
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
Step out of line, the men come and take you away
We better stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what's going down?
You better stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what's going down?
You better stop
Now, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what's going down?
You better stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what's going down?

Mankind, once fallen, just continues to kill each other

Wars, endless wars, hatred, sickness, starvation, death

We must be insane to continue the same mistakes

Jesus was the revolutionary

He said we must love one another

So they killed him too

Written in another thread on Jan 21, 2024, before he passed last week, about Sly Stone

He was a musical genius whose flesh was too weak to survive his genius unscathed.
Even today his recent lyrics speak from another source.
Alive but not for long.
He cannot record but the poetry lives...

Give the kid a flag, it teaches you to salute
Give the kid a gun, you teach him how to shoot
One day the kids in the bushes, he starts to cry
Because never ever nobody, taught him how to die
He's in the bushes, there's no more blood to give
Said his odds say that he's dying
But his God said he would live

© Sylvester Stewart

Funny thing about the 60's movement. It was people against the establishment. Today it is people against each other with the establishment pulling all their strings. Not the same at all, but the music is still relevant.

Dionne Warwick - What The World Needs Now (1966) :heart:​



What the world needs now is love sweet love,
It*s the only thing that there*s just too little of.
What the world needs now is love sweet love,
no not just for some but for everyone.

Lord we don*t need another mountain,
There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb,
There are oceans and rivers enough to cross
Enough to last until the end of time

What the world needs now is love sweet love,
it*s the only thing that theres just too little of,
what the world needs now is love sweet love,
no not just for some but for everyone

Lord, we dont need another meadow,
there are corn fields and wheat fields enough to grow,
there are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine,
oh listen Lord, if you want to know

What the world needs now is love sweet love,
its the only thing that theres just too little of.
what the world needs now is love sweet love,
no not just for some, oh but just for every every everyone.

He's All You Need: Steve Camp

When you're alone, your heart is torn, He is all you need.
When you're confused, your soul is bruised, He is all you need.
He's the rock of your soul, He's the anchor that holds
Through your desperate time.
When your way is unsure His love will endure, a peace you will find
Through all your years, the joy, the tears, He is all you need
When you give in to that familiar sin, He is all you need
Guilt as you're paralyzed, it slowly it eats you alive, He is all you need
He'll be faithful to you though your heart is untrue
And your love's grown cold
His forgiveness is real, it'll comfort and heal your sin-weary soul
Well, God loves you so, He'll never let you go
He is all you need.
He'll be faithful to you though your heart is untrue
And your love's grown cold
His forgiveness is real, to comfort and heal your sin-weary soul

Through all your years, the joy, the tears, He is all you need.

Have yourself committed
Each and every day
I said, get yourself acquitted
For the crime you've yet to pay
'Cause the judge has found you guilty
And you're sure to do the time
So have yourself committed now
Or be dyin' for the crime
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, boom be doo be doo

We'll have fun, we'll have a real good time
You just wait and see
You and Me for all eternity
If you just turn your life over to Me
Yeah, ooh, yeah!

So I said, have yourself committed
Each and every day
Get yourself acquitted
For the crime you've yet to pay
'Cause the judge has found you guilty
And you're sure to do the time
So have yourself committed now
Or be dyin' for the crime

Oh, don't you want a guarantee
That everything is gonna be alright?
Well, don't let any lawyer fool ya
It's gonna be any uphill fight
Still, the judge has made a way
For you to get off clean, scot free, yeah
And all you have to do is have yourself committed
Trust in, cling to and rely on Me

Oh. yeah!
Whoa!
Ah, ha, ha, ha!
Yeah, that's right!

Whoo!
Alright!

We'll have fun, we'll have a real good time
You just wait and see
You and Me for all eternity
If you just turn your life over to Me

(Have yourself committed)
Yeah, ooh, yeah
(Don't you know you gotta have yourself committed)
That's what they said... Ha, ha, ha!
(Have yourself committed)
I don't believe it! Whoa!
(Don't you know you gotta have yourself committed)
Oh, have yourself committed now, oh

That's all!
Have Yourself Committed, Bryan Duncan (1985)
