Put A Woman In Charge (Featuring Rosanne Cash) Songtext
von 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 '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 a woman in charge)
Put the women in charge
(Put the women 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 women in charge)

The time has come
We′ve got to turn this world around (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 (yes we have)
She is kind and she understands

So let the ladies
Do what they were born to do
Raise the vibration
And make a better place for me and you


So 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 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 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 women 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 a woman in charge)
Put the women in charge
(Put the women in charge, put the women in charge)
Time to put a woman in charge
(Put a woman in charge, put a woman in charge)
Put the women 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 women in charge)
It′s about time to put a woman in charge
(Put a woman in charge, put a woman in charge)
Come on y'all let′s put the women in charge
(Put the women 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 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)

Yeah yeah put a woman in charge
