Letra
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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 need?
[Verse 3]
A summer's disregard, a broken bottle top
And 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
[Chorus]
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 you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make a change
(Na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na, na-na) Uh-huh
[Verse 4]
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?
[Verse 5]
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
[Chorus]
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 you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make a change
[Chorus]
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 you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make that (Change)
[Chorus]
I'm starting with the man in the mirror (Oh, yeah)
I'm asking him to change his ways (Come on, change)
No message could've been any clearer
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
That man, that man, that man (With the man in the mirror, oh yeah)
I'm asking him to change his ways (Come on, change)
No message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself, then make a change
[Bridge]
Na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na, na-na
Gonna feel real good, yeah (Oh, yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na, na-na) Oh no, oh no
[Outro]
I'm gonna make a change
It's gonna feel real good
Shamone
(Change) Just lift yourself
You know, you've got to start with yourself
(Yeah) Woo
(Make that change) I've gotta make that change today
Woo (Man in the mirror)
You've got to, you've got to start with yourself, brother
Woo
(Yeah) You know
(Make that change) Start with that man, that man
(Man in the mirror) You've gotta, you've got to move
Come on, come on
You've got to stand up (Yeah)
Stand up (Make that change)
Stand up, stand up and lift yourself now (Man in the mirror)
[Outro]
Hoo, hoo, hoo
Ow
(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
