Written by babyface (1996)   Performed by michael jackson      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   You gotta have something to believe in   I'm tellin' 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 you can be      Hook      If you wanna make it right   And you wanna do it now   Then you gotta learn to try   Gonna make it worth your while   Nothing in life comes free   And that's just the way it is now   You gotta go for what you want   You gotta do what you got to do      Hook 3 times
