|
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 |
|
A 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, yey |
|
Na na na, na na na, na na na na oh ho |
|
I've been a victim of |
|
A selfish kinda love |
|
It's time that I realize |
|
There are some with no home |
|
Not a nickel to loan |
|
Could it be really 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 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 |
|
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 |
|
(Man in the mirror, oh yeah) |
|
I'm asking him to change his ways, yeah |
|
(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) |
|
Then you close your mind |
|
(That man, that man, that man) |
|
(That man, that man, that man) |
|
(With the man in the mirror, oh yeah) |
|
(That man you know, that man you know) |
|
(That man you know, that man you know) |
|
I'm asking him to change his ways |
|
(Change) |
|
No message could have been any clearer |
|
If you wanna make the world a better place |
|
Take a look at yourself then make that change |
|
(Na na na, na na na, na na na na) |
|
Ooh |
|
Oh yeah |
|
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah |
|
(Na na na, na na na, na na na na) |
|
Oh no |
|
Oh no, I'm gonna make a change |
|
It's gonna feel real good |
|
Sure mon |
|
(Change) |
|
Just lift yourself |
|
You know, you got to stop it yourself |
|
(Yeah) |
|
Oh |
|
Make that change |
|
(I gotta make that change today, oh) |
|
(Man in the mirror) |
|
You got to, you got to not let yourself, brother oh |
|
Yeah |
|
You know that |
|
(Make that change) |
|
(I gotta make that make me then make) |
|
You got, you got to move |
|
Sure mon, sure mon |
|
You got to |
|
(Stand up, stand up, stand up) |
|
Make that change |
|
Stand up and lift yourself, now |
|
(Man in the mirror) |
|
Make that change |
|
(Gonna make that change, sure mon) |
|
(Man in the mirror) |
|
You know it, you know it, you know it, you know |
|
(Change) |
