"Put A Woman In Charge" lyrics - KEB' MO'

KEB' MO'
"Put A Woman In Charge"

[Verse 1: Keb' Mo']
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 till 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

[Chorus: Keb' Mo' and Backing Vocalists]
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

[Verse 2: Keb' Mo']
The time has come
We've got to turn this world around
Call the mothers
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
That men don't have
She is kind and she understands

[Bridge 1: Keb' Mo' and Rosanne Cash]
So let the ladies
Do what they were born to do
Raise the vibration
And make a better place for me and you

[Chorus: Keb' Mo' and Rosanne Cash]
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

[Bridge 2: Keb' Mo' and Rosanne Cash]
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
We're gonna feel the magic
When the girls take over
It's gonna be fantastic

[Chorus: Keb' Mo' and Rosanne Cash]
Put a woman in charge
Put the women in charge
Put a woman 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
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
Put a woman in charge
Put a woman in charge
Put the women in charge
Put the women in charge
