Song Lyrics

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 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, somebody's broken heart
And 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 then make a change

Na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na

I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love
It's time that I realize
There are some with no home
And 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 (washed-out dream)
They follow the pattern of the wind, you 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, oh yeah
I'm asking him to change his ways (you 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

You gotta get it right, while you got the time
When you close your heart, you're gonna close your mind (you'll need to to close your mind)

I'm starting with the man in the mirror, oh yeah
I'm asking him to change his ways (you 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

Na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na

Oh yeah

Na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na

I'm gonna make a change!
It's gonna feel real good, come on (change)
Oh, you know it
You need to save yourself, come on (come on)

(Make that change) yeah, make a change
(Man in the mirror) the man, the man, the man
The man (come on, make that change) we're gonna make that change
(Man in the mirror) that man
Now that man in the mirror (come on, make that change)
The, the man, you know it (man in the mirror)
The man
Man in the mirror (change)
