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 blowing my mind I see the kids in the street without 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 show 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 want to make the world a better place Take a look at yourself and then you make that change I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love It's time that I realize There are some with no home, not a nickel to loan Could it be really me, pretending that they're not alone A widow deeply scarred, somebody's broken heart Can I wash that 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 want to make the world a better place Take a look at yourself and then you make that 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 want to make the world a better place Take a look at yourself and then you make that 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 want to make the world a better place Take a look at yourself and then you make the change Gotta get it right before you got the time I said you can't close up your mind That man, the man in the mirror And I'm asking him to change his ways And no message could have been any clearer If you want to make the world a better place Take a look at yourself and then you make that change Na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na Make that change It feels so good, yeah, yeah, yeah Na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na Make that change Make that change
