[Verse 1]
Watch the woman's hands as she cultivates the land
As she plants the seed, as she's on her knees
Watch her fingers smile as she holds the little child
As she holds him, as she hold him
Whoa, whoa, whoa
[Verse 2]
Watch the woman's hands as she holds the children back
From the danger, from the danger
Watch how they fight to keep the family tight
Together, together
Oh, whoa, whoa
[Chorus]
Oh we need her, oh we need her
Oh we need her, oh we need her
Oh we need her, oh we need her
Oh we need her, oh we need her
Whoa, whoa
[Verse 3]
Watch the woman's hands as she talks to the man
As he talks down to her, as he tells her
He doesn't understand, he doesn't see the fisted hands
Clenching tightly, angrily
Oh, whoa
[Chorus]
Oh we need her, oh we need her
Oh we need her, oh we need her
Oh we need her, oh we need her
Oh we need her, oh we need
Oh we need her
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Watch the woman's hands as she cultivates the land
As she plants the seed, as she's on her knees
Watch her fingers smile as she holds the little child
As she holds him, as she hold him
Whoa, whoa, whoa
[Verse 2]
Watch the woman's hands as she holds the children back
From the danger, from the danger
Watch how they fight to keep the family tight
Together, together
Oh, whoa, whoa
[Chorus]
Oh we need her, oh we need her
Oh we need her, oh we need her
Oh we need her, oh we need her
Oh we need her, oh we need her
Whoa, whoa
[Verse 3]
Watch the woman's hands as she talks to the man
As he talks down to her, as he tells her
He doesn't understand, he doesn't see the fisted hands
Clenching tightly, angrily
Oh, whoa
[Chorus]
Oh we need her, oh we need her
Oh we need her, oh we need her
Oh we need her, oh we need her
Oh we need her, oh we need
Oh we need her
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
