Man in the Mirror

I'm gonna make a change

For once in my life (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

A broken bottle top

And one man's soul

They follow each other on the wind, you know

Because they got nowhere to go

That's why I want you to know

That 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 kinda 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 (A 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 that change

I'm starting with the man in the mirror (Oh, yeah)

I'm asking him to change his ways (Said, 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 the change

You gotta get it right while you got the time

'Cause when you close your heart

Then you close your mind (You can't close your mind)

Make a change (You can't close your mind)
