Lyrics
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 fifteen years of holdin' 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
Get it together
You have to heal your heart
Whatsoever you sow, you will reap
Get it together, ooh
You can fly, fly
Dark future ahead of me, that's what they said
I'd be starvin' if I ate all the lies they fed
'Cause I've been redeemed from your anguish and pain
A miracle child, I'm floatin' 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 (Ah)
No matter what anybody says (Ah)
What matters most is what ya think of yourself
Get it together
You wanna heal your body
Get it together
You have to heal your heart, yeah
Whatsoever you sow, you will reap (Ooh-mmm)
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 and hurt him
Or 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 showin' up on your face
But you'll never be happy and you'll never be whole
Until you see the beauty in growing old
Get it together
You wanna heal your body
Get it together
You have to heal your heart
Whatsoever you sow, you will reap (Oh-oh-oh, ooh)
Get it together
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ah, no
Get it together
You wanna heal your body
Get it together
You have to heal your heart, yeah
Whatsoever you sow, you will reap
Get it together
Ooh
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
You can fly, fly, fly, fly
You can fly, fly, fly, fly
