Lyrics

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 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've been any clearer If they 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 (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've 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've 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 (oh yeah) I'm asking him to change his ways (better change) No message could've 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 (Then you close your) close your, your mind With the man in the mirror, oh yeah I'm asking him to change his ways (better change) No message could've been any clearer If you wanna make the world a better place Take a look at yourself and then make a change (Oh yeah) gonna feel real good now 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) you know (Make that change) I've got to get that man, that man You've got to You've got to move Come on Come on You got to Stand up, stand up (yeah, make that change) Stand up 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 Change Make that change
