Song Lyrics

Hey

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 on the street
Not enough to eat
Who am I to be blind
Pretending not to see their need

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
Oh yeah
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Oh yeah
A willow deeply scarred
Somebody's broken heart
And a washed out dream (washed out dream)
They follow the pattern of the wind ya see
'Cause they got no place to be (yeah)
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 that change

I'm starting with the man in the mirror (oh yeah)
And I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer (ooh, ooh)
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make that change

You gotta get it right while you got the time, you gotta
You cannot close up your mind (woo)
Your mind (woo), your mind (woo), your mind (woo)

I'm asking him to change his ways (better change)
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
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Yeah (ooh)
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Make that change
