i'm gonna make a change
for once im my life

it's gonna feel real good
gonna make a diference
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
with not 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
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
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

that man that man that man
that man
with the man in the mirror
that man that man that man
i'm asking him to change his ways

you know 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 no no no
i'm gonna make a change
it's gonna feel real good!
come on!
just lift yourself
you know
you've got to stop it
yourself!
i've got to make that change
today!
hoo!
you got to
you got to not let yourself
brother
hoo!
you know - i've got to get
that man that man
you've got to
you've got to move! come on!
come on!
you got to
stand up! stand up! stand up!
stand up and lift yourself now!
hoo! hoo! hoo!
aaow!
