I'm gonna make a change
for once in my life
It's gonna feel real good
gonna make a diference
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 enought 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 wanna
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 wanna
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 wanna
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 wanna
make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself
and then make a change
You gotta get it right
while you got the time
'Cause when you close your heart
You can't close your your mind
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 wanna
make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself
and then make the change
Stand up Stand up Stand up
Stand up and lift yourself now
Man in the mirror
Hoo Hoo Hoo
Stand up Stand up in love
you know you know you know
Change
Make that change
