So I was just listening to this song and I heard it a different way... Imagine Michael singing this to himself (and some parts to his fans). Also notice "gotta put your HEART on the line"...CARDIAC ARREST?! <!-- s:?: -->:?:<!-- s:?: --> What do you think? (PS... there's also this demo song on "The Ultimate MJ Collection".. I cant remember the name of it or which number it is..I will look tomorrow, but it's an unfinished song and one part he's singing but it's not very clear.. it sounds like "I could leave, I could leave, I could die in my sleep..." Anyone know what I'm talking about?)

"On The Line"

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
