Get It Together Lyrics - India.Arie
Review The Song (9)
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?
Get it together
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 said
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
or hurt him and break his pride
Just shake that weight off
And you'll 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 would never change but as time moved on
That 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'll never be happy
And you'll never be whole
Until you see the beauty in growing old
[Chorus]
[chorus]
you can fly fly fly fly...
you can live or you can die
you know that life is a choice you make
you can give or you can take
you can fly fly fly fly
you can fly fly fly fly...
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?
Get it together
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 said
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
or hurt him and break his pride
Just shake that weight off
And you'll 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 would never change but as time moved on
That 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'll never be happy
And you'll never be whole
Until you see the beauty in growing old
[Chorus]
[chorus]
you can fly fly fly fly...
you can live or you can die
you know that life is a choice you make
you can give or you can take
you can fly fly fly fly
you can fly fly fly fly...

Beautiful, Calming, Peaceful | Reviewer: Malleha | 11/20/10
An incredibly great song. I have been through some harsh family stuff, and I am still kind of broken up and hollow inside and when I'm feelin kind of down I listen to this and it encourages me to get up and make the most out of what I have otherwise I'm gonna stay bitter and cold for a long time. And I love the tune not just the lyrics, it creates a Beautiful, Calming and Peaceful mood. Thats why I love India Arie
LOOOOOVE IT!!!!!!! | Reviewer: Paryss | 5/6/10
I first heard this song in the movie brown sugar (which is my fav movie). I think India Arie is an amazing artist her voice is so calming. This song describes so much that I've gone through. Shes one of a kind.

I love this song. every word of it. it reminds me of my life so much. i have been through so much in life with family, friends, and ultimatelty my self. It makes me realize that even through all of it i can forgive, live, and move on. It is a spiritual song for me and reminds me that God is the ultimate one.

This song is probably one of the most beautiful songs ever made by a human. And for the record...this song was also on the "sharktale" soundtrack. I recommend you others to download the soundtrack, it will be wort your time in gold.
India Arie has this golden glow around her and everytime she sings, you can see that it comes straight from the heart. She has a beautiful gift and she will always be my favorite artist ever.
It's actually amazing that she writes her own songs, she sure is creative and she's got a talent that nobody on this earth can compete with. I just wish that I could go to her consert in Stockholm. I would like her to try to perform in the smaller towns in Sweden to
Remeber India...we also wanna see your talent :)

This song is so good it is is one of me and my friends favorites I love her voice in this song to. This song has a very good story line I just don't know how you come up with such good ideas.
The Ultimate Healing | Reviewer: Nique | 2/25/06
This song is a beautiful and empowering song. It reminds you that you need to forgive others, love yourself, and just be a positive person. It also, and most importantly, reminds you that God is the most important person that you have to worry about. People change but the Lord remains the same for all time. People can hurt you deeply, but the Lord will always be there to heal you.
