Get It Together lyrics
by India Arie



One shot to your heart without breaking your skinNo one has the power to hurt you like your kinKept it inside, didn't tell no one elseDidn't even wanna admit it to yourselfAnd now your chest burns and your backachesFrom 15 years of holding the painAnd now you'll only have yourself to blameIf you continue to live this way[Chorus:]Get it togetherYou wanna heal your bodyYou have to heal your heartWhatsoever you sow you will reapGet it togetherYou can fly flyDark future ahead of meThat's what they sayI'd be starving if I ate all the lies they fakeCause I've been redeemed from your anguish and painA miracle child I'm floating on a cloudCause the words that come from your mouthYou're the first to hearSpeak of words of beauty and you will be thereNo matter what anybody saysWhat matters most is what you think of yourself[Chorus]The choice is yoursNo matter what it isTo choose life is to choose to forgiveYou don't have to tryTo hurt and break his prideJust shake that weight offAnd you will be ready to flyOne shot to your heart without breaking your skinNo one has the power to hurt you like your friendsThought it will never change but the time moved onAn ugly duckling grew up to be a swanAnd your chest burns and your backachesBecause now the pain is showing upon your faceBut you'll never be happyAnd you'll never beholdUntil you see the beauty in growing old[Chorus]
