India Arie - Get It Together lyrics

rate me

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 you sow you will reap

Get it together

You can fly fly

Talk future ahead of me

That's what they say

I'd be starving if I ate all the lies they feed

Cause I've been redeemed from your anguish and pain

A miracle child I'm floating on a 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 anybody says

What matters most 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

And hurt him or 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

An ugly duckling grew up to be a swan

And now your chest burns and your backaches

Because now years are showing upon your face

But you're never really happy

And you never be *whole*

Until you see the beauty in growing hope

[chorus]
