Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm gonna make a change
For once in my life
It's gonna be real good
Gonna make a difference
Gonna make it right
[Verse 2]
And as I turn up the collar on
My favorite winter coat
This wind is blowing my mind
I see the kids in the streets
And not enough to eat
Who am I to be blind?
Pretending not to see their needs
[Verse 3]
A summer disregard, somebody's broken heart
And a one man's soul
And they follow the pattern on the wind ya know
'Cause they got no place to go
That's why I want you to know
[Verse 4]
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
And 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 make that change
Change, na na na, na na na, na na na nah, oh no, hmm
[Verse 5]
I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love
It's time that I realize
That there are some with no home
And not a nickel to loan
Could it be really me pretending that they're not alone?
[Verse 6]
A willow deeply scarred, somebody's broken heart
And a washed-out dream
And they follow the pattern on the wind ya see
'Cause they got no place to be
That's why I'm starting with me
[Verse 7]
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
And 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 make that change
[Verse 8]
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
And 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 make that change
I gotta get it right while I got the time
You can't close your, your mind
[Verse 9]
No, 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 wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and make that change
Change, na na na, na na na, na na na na nah
[Verse 10]
Woo, yeah man, yeah yeah
Whoa, gonna make the change
