No sense pretending it's 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
It's time you look to the future
It's all right there if you ask
This time you could try much harder
You'll be the best that you can be - Ooh-ooh
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)
And you wanna do it now
(Do it now)
Then you gotta learn to try
(Then you gotta learn to try)
And make it worth the while
(Make it worth somehow)
No, not a lot comes free
That's just the way things are
You´ve got to go for what you want
You got to know what you got to do, oh
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
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
Gotta put your heart on the line
If you wanna make it right
You've got to reach out and try
Gotta put your...
