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 turned 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 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 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 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

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

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

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
