im gonna make a change
for once in my life
its 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
without 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
thats why i want you to know
im starting with the man in the mirror
im asking him to change his ways
and no message couldve been any clearer
if you wanna make the world a better place
take a look at yourself and then make a change
(na na na na na na na na na nah)
ive been a victim of a selfish kind of love
its time that i realize
that there are some with no home not a nickel to loan
could it be really me pretending that theyre not alone
a willow deeply scarred somebodys broken heart
and a washed-out dream
they follow the pattern of the wind ya see
cause they got no where to be
thats why im starting with me
im talking about the man in the mirror
im asking you to change this ways
and no message couldve 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 cant close your your mind!
that man i'm an old man in the mirror
oh yeah
im asking him to change his ways
and no message couldve been any clearer
if you wanna make the world a better place
take a look at yourself and just make that change
