I'm gonna make a changeFor once in my lifeIt's gonna feel real goodGonna make a differenceGonna make it rightAs I turn up the collar onMy favorite winter coatThis wind is blowing my mindI see the kids in the streetsWith not enough to eatWho am I to be blind?Pretending not to see their needsA summer disregardA broken bottle topAnd a one man soulThey follow each other on the wind,ya' know'Cause they got nowhere to goThat's why I want you to knowI'm starting with the man in the mirrorI'm asking him to change his waysAnd no message could have been any clearer:If you wanna make the world a better placeTake a look at yourself and then make a changeI've been a victim of a selfish kind of loveIt's time that I realizeThat there are some with no homeNot a nickel to loanCould it be really mePretending that they're not alone?A willow deeply scarredSomebody's broken heartAnd a washed-out dreamThey follow the pattern of the wind, ya' see'Cause they got no place to beThat's why I'm starting with meI'm starting with the man in the mirror (Oh!)I'm asking him to change his ways (Oh!)And no message could have been any clearer:If you wanna make the world a better placeTake a look at yourself and then make a changeI'm starting with the man in the mirror (Oh!)I'm asking him to change his ways (Oh!)And no message could have been any clearer:If you wanna make the world a better placeTake a look at yourself andthen make that Change!I'm starting with the man in the mirror(Man in the mirror - Oh yeah!)I'm asking him to change his ways(Better change!)No message could have been any clearer(If you wanna make the world a better place)(Take a look at yourself and then make the change)(You gotta get it right, while you got the time)('Cause when you close your heart)You can't close your, your mind!(Then you close your mind!)That man, that man, that man, that manWith the man in the mirror(Man in the mirror, oh yeah!)That man, that man, that manI'm asking him to change his ways(Better change!)You know... that manNo message could have been any clearerIf you wanna make the world a better placeTake a look at yourself andthen make the changeI'm gonna make a changeIt's gonna feel real goodCome on!
