On The Line - Lyrics

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 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 make 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 could 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 make it right

If you wanna do it now
You gotta learn to try
You can make it right somehow
Let love come free
And that's just so easy now
You gotta go for what you want
You gotta do what you got to do

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

[Repeat and fade out]

The “Ultimate” version of this title is sublime ; as usual Michael implies himself sentimentally…feel about this song is like a kind of anthem to the universal love.

Michael ne l'a pas gardée car on reconnait quand même la signature de BabyFace dans la mélodie...

Elle devait figurer sur History, Michael cherchait une ballade pour son album et a ainsi contacté plusieurs compositeurs en leur demandant de leur écrire un slow mais finalement, You Are Not Alone de R.Kelly l'a remporté (Dieu merci !!).

Très belle chanson tout de même avec de belle paroles...

Pour la petite histoire, cette chanson n'est pas tombée dans l'oubli le plus complet puisqu'elle figure sur la B.O. du film Get On The Bus de Spike Lee, sorti je crois en 97 ou 98...

It's all about your will-power. And Michael had the will-power to make all right for him.

Love You Always Michael
