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 blowing my mind
I see the kids in the streets
With not enough to eat
Who am I to be blind?
Pretending not to see their needs
A summer disregard,
a broken bottle top
And a one man 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 want to make
the world a better place
Take a look at yourself,
and then make a change
I've been a victim of
a selfish kind of love
It's time that I realize
That there are some with no home,
not a nickel to loan
Could it be really me,
pretending that they're not alone?
A willow deeply scarred,
somebody's broken heart
And a 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 want to make
the world a better place
Take a look at yourself,
and then make a 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 want to 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
(Better change!)
No message could have been any clearer
If you want to 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
You can't close your, your mind!
(Then you close your, mind!)
That man, that man, that man,
that man
With the man in the mirror
(Man in the mirror, oh yeah!)
That man, that man, that man
I'm asking him to change his ways
(Better change!)
No message could have
been any clearer
If you want to make
the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and
then make the change
Oh no, no no
I'm gonna make a change
It's gonna feel real good!
Chime on!
(Change)
Just lift yourself
You know
You've got to stop it
Yourself!
(Yeah! Make that change!)
I've got to make that change,
today!
Hoo!
(Man in the mirror)
You got to
You got to not let yourself
Brother
Hoo!
(Yeah! Make that change!)
You know, I've got to get
That man, that man
(Man in the mirror)
You've got to move! Chime on!
Chime on!
You got to
Stand up! Stand up! Stand up!
(Yeah! Make that change)
Stand up and lift yourself,
now!
(Man in the mirror)
You know it!
You know it!
You know it!
You know it
(Change)
Make that change
