India Arie - Get İt Together

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 want to 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

Get it together

You want to 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

Get it together

You want to heal your body

You have to heal your heart

Whatsoever you sow you will reap

Get it together

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

Get it together

You want to heal your body

You have to heal your heart

Whatsoever you sow you will reap

Get it together
