The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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

(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

(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

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

Just 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 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

(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

(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, 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
