India.Arie - Get It Together Lyrics

Send "Get It Together" ringtones to your cell

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 back aches 
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 

Dark future 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 a cloud 
Cause the words that come from your mouth 
You're the first to hear 
Speak words of beauty and you will be there 
No matter what anybody says 
What matters most is 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 
To 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 this time moved on 
An ugly duckling grew up to be a swan 
And now your chest burns and your back aches 
Because now the years are showing up on your face 
But you're never be happy 
And you'll never be whole 
Until you see the beauty in growing old 

[Chorus]
