Get It Together Lyrics

Official lyrics for Get It Together, performed by India Arie.

One shot to your heart without breaking your skin No one has the power to hurt you like your kin Kept it inside, didn't tell no one else Didn't even wanna admit it to yourself And now your chest burns and your backaches From 15 years of holding the pain And now you only have yourself to blame If you continue to live this way [Chorus:] Get it together You wanna heal your body You have to heal your heart Whatsoever is so you will reap Get it together You can fly fly Darkfuture ahead of me That's what they say I'd be starving if I ate all the lies they fed Cause I've been redeemed from your anguish and pain A miracle child I'm floating on the clouds Cause the words that come from your mouth You're the first to hear Speak of words of beauty and you will be there No matter what any body says What matters is matters what you think of yourself [Chorus] The choice is yours No matter what it is To choose life is to choose to forgive You don't have to try To hurt him and break his pride Just shake that weight off And you will be ready to fly One shot to your heart without breaking your skin No one has the power to hurt you like your friends Thought it will never change but as time moved on That ugly duckling grew up to be a swan And now chest burns in your backaches Because now the years are showing upon your face But you'll never be happy And you'll never be hold Until you see the beauty in growing old [Chorus]
