Keb’ Mo’, Rosanne Cash - Put a Woman in Charge lyrics

Way back when in the beginning of time
Man made the fire then the wheel
Went from a horse to an automobile
He said, "the world is mine"
He took the oceans and the sky
He set the borders, built the walls
He won't stop ’til he owns it all
And here we are
Standing on the brink of disaster
Enough is enough is enough is enough
I know the answer

Put a woman in charge
(Put a woman in charge)
Put the women in charge
(Put the women in charge)
Put a woman in charge
(Put a woman in charge)
Put the women in charge
(Put the women in charge)

The time has come
We've got to turn this world around
(World around) call the mothers
Call the daughters (Call the daughters)
We need the sisters of mercy now
She'll be a hero not a fool
She’s got the power to change the rules
She's got something (Something)
That men don't have (Yes we have)
She is kind and she understands

So let the ladies
Do what they were born to do (Ahh ahh)
Raise the vibration
And make a better place for me and you
(Ooh ooh)

Put a woman in charge put a woman in charge
Put the women in charge
Put the women in charge
Put a woman in charge put a woman in charge
Put the women in charge
Put the women in charge

Hallelujah (Hallelujah)
Hallelujah we're gonna feel the magic
When the girls take over (Take over)
It's gonna be fantastic
(We need more women in charge)

Put a woman in charge (Put a woman in charge)
Put the women in charge
(Put the woman in charge)
(Put a woman in charge)
(Put the woman in charge
Put the women in charge)
Put a woman in charge
Put a woman in charge (Put a woman in charge)
Put the women in charge
Put the women in charge
(Put the woman in charge)
Time to put a woman in charge
Put a woman in charge (Put a woman in charge)
Put the women in charge
(Put the woman in charge, that's right
Come on yeah) put a woman in charge
Put a woman in charge (Put a woman in charge)
Put the women in charge
Put the women in charge
(Put the woman in charge)
It's about time to put a woman in charge
Let a woman in charge (Put a woman in charge)
Come on y'all, let’s put the woman in charge
(Put a woman in charge
Put the women in charge)
Put a women in charge
Put the women in charge
(Put the woman in charge
Put a woman in charge)
Put the woman in charge
Put the woman in charge
(Put the woman in charge, come on somebody)
Put a women in charge
Put a women in charge (Put a woman in charge)
Put the woman in charge
Put the woman in charge
(yeah, yeah, put a woman in charge
