PUT A WOMAN IN CHARGE (written by Keb Mo and Beth Neilson Chapman)
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 (pause) I know the answer.
Put a woman in charge (3x), put the women in charge (3x), put a woman in charge (3x), put the women in charge (3x)
The time has come, we’ve got to turn this world around (2x)
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
So let the ladies do what they were born to do
RAISE THE VIBRATION! And make a better place for me and you
Put a woman in charge (3x), put the women in charge (3x), put a woman in charge (3x), put the women in charge (3x)
HALLELUJAH! (3x) We’re gonna feel the magic. When the girls take over
IT’S GONNA BE FANTASTIC!!!!! Put a woman in charge (12x) as above
