Get It Together - 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 it just burns in your backaches

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 wanna heal your body

You have to heal your heart

Whatsoever is so 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 fake

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 he devices

What matters is matters what you think of yourself

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 it just burns in your backaches

Because now beads are showing upon your face

But you’re never really happy

And you never behold

Until you see the beauty in growing hope
