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]
Hard times just don't go away
You gotta take that chip off your shoulder
It's time you open up
Have some faith
All good things come in due time
Yes it does
You gotta have something to believe in
I'm telling you to open mind
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
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
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
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
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
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

The lyrics "You see yourself in the mirror, and you don't like what you see" doesn't seem to make sense regarding putting yourself on the line, nor seem to apply to the "Million Man March". Can someone explain it to me?
