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 colar 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 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
Na na na, na na na, na na, na nah
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 (Ooh!)
I'm asking him to change his ways (Ooh!)
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've been
any clearer
If you wanna 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 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, that man…
(Man in the mirror, oh yeah!)
(I'm asking him to change his ways
Better change!)
That man
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
Hoo! Hoo!
Hoo! Hoo! Hoo…
(Na na na, na na na, na na, na nah)
(Oh yeah!
Na na na, na na na, na na, na nah, ooh…)
Oh no, no no…
I'm gonna make a change
It's gonna feel real good!
Come on! (Change…)
Just lift yourself
You know
You've got to stop it
Yourself!
(Yeah! Make the change!)
I've got to make the change
Today! Hoo!

You got to You got to not let yourself…
Brother… Hoo!
