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 turned up the collar on my favorite winter coat This wind is blowin' my mind I see the kids in the street, with not enough to eat Who am I to be blind, pretending not to see their needs A summer's disregard, A broken bottle top And a one man's soul They follow each other on the wind you 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 make a change I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love It's time that I realize 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 we 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 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 wanna make the world a better place Take a look at yourself and make a change I'm starting with this man in the mirror Na na na 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 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 wanna make the world a better place Take a look at yourself and make a change You gotta get it right, while you got the time Can you make that Can you make that The change
