On The Line Lyrics - Michael Jackson
Review The Song (12)
No sense pretending its over
Hard times just don't go away
You gotta take that chip off your shoulder
It's time you open up Have some faith
Nothing good ever comes easy
All good things come in due time (Yes it does)
You gotta have something to believe in
I'm telling you to open your mind
Gotta put your heart on the line
If you wanna make it right
You've got to reach out and try
Gotta put your heart on the line
If you wanna get it right
Gotta put it all on the line
You see yourself in the mirror
And you don't like what you see
And things aren't getting much clearer
Don't you think it's time you go for a change
Don't waste your time on the past, no, no
It's time you look to the future
It's all right there if you ask
This time if you try much harder
You'll be the best that you can be
Gotta put your heart on the line
If you wanna make it right
You've got to reach out and try
Gotta put your heart on the line
If you wanna get it right
Gotta put it all on the line
If you wanna make it right (If you wanna make it right)
If you wanna do it now (do it now)
Then you gotta learn to try (Then you gotta learn to try)
You can make it work somehow (make it work somehow)
No nothin' in life comes free
And that's just so easy now
You gotta go for what you want
You gotta know what you got to stand for
Gotta put your heart on the line
If you wanna make it right
You've got to reach out and try
Gotta put your heart on the line
If you wanna make it right
Gotta put it all on the line
[Repeat and fade out]
Hard times just don't go away
You gotta take that chip off your shoulder
It's time you open up Have some faith
Nothing good ever comes easy
All good things come in due time (Yes it does)
You gotta have something to believe in
I'm telling you to open your mind
Gotta put your heart on the line
If you wanna make it right
You've got to reach out and try
Gotta put your heart on the line
If you wanna get it right
Gotta put it all on the line
You see yourself in the mirror
And you don't like what you see
And things aren't getting much clearer
Don't you think it's time you go for a change
Don't waste your time on the past, no, no
It's time you look to the future
It's all right there if you ask
This time if you try much harder
You'll be the best that you can be
Gotta put your heart on the line
If you wanna make it right
You've got to reach out and try
Gotta put your heart on the line
If you wanna get it right
Gotta put it all on the line
If you wanna make it right (If you wanna make it right)
If you wanna do it now (do it now)
Then you gotta learn to try (Then you gotta learn to try)
You can make it work somehow (make it work somehow)
No nothin' in life comes free
And that's just so easy now
You gotta go for what you want
You gotta know what you got to stand for
Gotta put your heart on the line
If you wanna make it right
You've got to reach out and try
Gotta put your heart on the line
If you wanna make it right
Gotta put it all on the line
[Repeat and fade out]

This song is good to get me to sleep and i will have a nice dream about MJ.
He is the best the best of the best.
" i love you " " i love you more" oh " i love you most"
no singer in the world can say this sweetly and truthfully like him.
i do believe that.
mj...good heart...great talent | Reviewer: lani-nj | 2/25/10
It's hard to be objective with a person whose music, movements and positive view of life has captured you. There is no doubt I love and respect this man. When he decides to put his arm around us by singing a simple life lesson with an engaging melody...your spirit has no where else to go but up.
Mr. Jackson had a heart of gold and good intentions for the world and its people. He'll inspire me always from his persistance in making a difference...and his magic.
Superba piesa... | Reviewer: Diana | 8/18/09
...Ca toate creatiile lui Michael de altfel. Tot ce a facut a fost la extrem, a fost perfect, a fost frumos si care a inspirat. Te face sa traiesti fiecare vers, sa simti si sa crezi...Iti multumesc Michael pentru ca ai existat, pentru ca ai creat, pentru ca mi-ai oferit asa cum ai zis si tu...putina fericire departe de problemele din viata de zi cu zi. Ai fost, esti si vei ramane o adevarata legenda, un geniu, un creator, un artist de necontestat. Te iubesc mult!
R.I.P Michael Jackson! :((
this is beautiful | Reviewer: Amelia Jackson | 12/27/08
i luved this song when I first heard it, itz so powerful and beautiful, alot of Michael's unrelised songs are better than some artists best songs, that just goes to show wat an amazing artist he truly is, I rly wish he would realise this as a single and rly show the haters another side of him, the real MJ :)
Gotta put your the heart the line | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/10/08
MJ represents the truth, this reflects so much through his music, his songs. Esp this one, its a great song, really touches your heart. Very simple but deep and true meaning. Put your heart on the line, put it all on the line. Very often we just pledge to do sth, but our heart's not there, we don't mean it. This song serves really to ingrain the fact that if you wanna make sth work, you "gotta put your heart on the line"!
Freakin' Amazing | Reviewer: Johnna | 10/5/07
Loved it. It just goes to show you how powerful Michael really is. He's such a visionary. And for anyone who's interested, this song is on his 4 cd, 1 dvd box set The Ultimate Collection. I bought and I love it. Go buy it! Luv ya MJ! Keep on makin' those hits baby! He He!
about the song on the line | Reviewer: ebony | 8/11/07
When I first heard the song in the beginning of the movie Get on the Bus I loved it. It’s a very powerful song more people need to listen. (If you haven’t seen Get on the bus the movie you should you’ll love this song even more).
thx Michael! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/10/07
When I heard that song some hours ago, was like God was talking to me trough your voice... I am trying!
