I'm gonna make a change, for once in my life
It's gonna feel real good, gonna make a difference
Gonna make it right
As I, turn up the collar on my favorite winter coat
This wind is blowin' my mind
I see the kids in the street, without enough to eat
Who am I, to be blind?
Pretending not to see their needs
A summer's disregard, a broken bottle top
And one man's soul
They follow each other on the wind ya' know
'Cause they got nowhere to go
That's why I want you to know
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself, and then make that change
Nanana nanana nana
(Oh, oh)
I've been a victim of a selfish kinda love
It's time that I realize
There are some with no home,
Not a nickel to loan
Could I be, really mean,
Pretending that they're not alone?
A willow deeply scarred (scarred), somebody's broken heart (heart)
And a washed out dream
(Washed out dream)
They follow the pattern of the wind ya see
'Cause they got no place to be that's why I'm starting with me
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself, and then make that change
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself, and then make that change
I'm starting with the man in the mirror (oh, yeah)
I'm asking him to change his ways (change)
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself, and then make that change (come on!)
You got to get it right, when you got the time
'Cause when you close your heart, then you close your
(your) mind!
I'm starting with the man in the mirror (oh, yeah)
I'm asking him to change his ways (change)
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself, and then make that change
Stand up!
Stand up! (Make a change!)
Stand up!
Stand up!
Left, yourself now!
Man in the mirror!
(Ooh!)
(Ooh!) Ah ah
(Ooh!) ah ah
Make that change! (Stand up! Stand up!)
You know!
You Know!
You Know! (Man in the mirror!)
You Know!
Change!
Make that change
