Get It Together Lyrics
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 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'll have to heal your heart)
Whatsoever you sew you will reap
Get it together
You can fly, fly
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 your 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'll have to heal your heart yeah)
Whatsoever you sew you will reap
Get it together
No matter what it is
To chose life is to chose to forgive
You don't have to try to hurt me or break his pride
Just shake that weight off and you'll be ready to fly
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 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 hope until you see the beauty in growing old
Get it together (you'll have to heal your heart)
Whatsoever you sew you will reap
Get it together
Get it together (you'll have to heal your heart)
Whatsoever you sew you will reap
Get it together
You can live all you can buy
You know that life that is a choice is you make
You can give our you can take
You can fly, fly, fly, fly
You can fly, fly, fly, fly
You can fly, fly, fly, fly
I love this song--to me it's about overcoming whatever awful pain of the past, things that happened to you that were so bad they affect the person you become later in life. It's about healing yourself by overcoming the fear and negativity of it, consciously choosing to rise above it. Choosing love and forgiveness over hate and negativity. "Dark future ahead of me that's what they say, I'd be starving if I ate all the lies they fed"
Some people are dealt a rough hand in life, but that doesn't mean you have to be a victim of that. YOU have the power to be more than a victim. Her words are so heartfelt and honest; she's empowering.
LOOOOOVE IT! I think it's very meaningful.
this song is amazing - but the lyrics are wrong - they are actually "one shot to your heart without breaking the skin" - anyone know what it means??
"one shot to your heart without breaking the skin" my friend helped me understand what it means. if you literally shot someone in the heart, the bullet would go through the skin then into your heart. in the metaphorical sense, your heart can be hurting or can be broken without a literal "shot". you don't have to be physically hurt to have pain in your heart.
I agree - this song is amazing. Its one of my favorites.
i LOVE this song!!!!!!! beautiful meaning!
