Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Gonna make a change
For once in my life
It's gonna feel real good, gonna make a difference
Gonna make it right
[Verse 2]
As I turn up the collar on my favorite winter coat
This wind is blowing 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?
[Verse 3]
A summer's disregard, a broken bottle top and one man's soul
They follow each other on the wind, you know?
'Cause they got nowhere to go
That's why I want you to know
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
Na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na, na-na
[Verse 6]
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 me pretending that they're not alone?
[Verse 7]
A widow deeply scared, 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
[Verse 8]
I'm starting with the man in the mirror (Oh yeah)
I'm asking him to change his ways (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, your mind)
[Verse 9]
I'm starting with the man in the mirror (Oh yeah)
I'm asking him to change his ways (Better change)
No-no-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
[Verse 10]
I'm starting with the man in the mirror (Oh yeah)
I'm asking him to change his ways (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 that change
[Verse 11]
Na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na, na-na
[Verse 12]
Gotta make that change
You better (Man in the mirror)
It's gonna feel real good, come on
You gotta start with yourself (Yeah)
You gotta (Make that change)
Gotta make that move
Today with the (Man in the mirror)
You got to stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up
(Yeah, make that change)
Gotta make that change
Today with the (Man in the mirror)
You know it, you know it, you know it, you know it
(Change)
Make that change
