Man In The Mirror

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 streets

With not enough 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

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 (Oh!)

I'm asking him to change his ways (Oh!)

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!)

I'm asking him to change his ways (Oh!)

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 (Better 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

With the man in the mirror

(Man in the mirror, oh yeah!)

That man, that man, that man

I'm asking him to change his ways (Better change!)

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

I'm gonna make a change

It's gonna feel real good

Come on! (Change)

Just lift yourself, you know

You've got to stop it, yourself!

(Yeah! Make that change!)

I've got to make that change, today!

(Man in the mirror)

You got to, you got to not let yourself, brother

(Yeah! - Make that change!)

You know, I've got to get

That man, that man... (Man in the mirror)

You've got to, you've got to move!

Come on! Come on! You got to...

Stand up! Stand up! Stand up!

(Yeah! - Make that change)

Stand up and lift yourself, now!

(Man in the mirror)

(Yeah! - Make that change!)

Gonna make that change.

Come on! (Man in the mirror)

You know it! You know it

You know it! You know it

(Change) Make that change.
