Man in the Mirror

[Verse 1]
I'm gonna make a change
For once in my life
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 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 have 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 nana-nana, oh, oh

[Verse 2]
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

[Extended Chorus]
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'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

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 have been any clearer
(If you wanna make the world a better place)
(Take a look at yourself and then make that change)
(You gotta get it right, while you got the time)
('Cause when you close your heart)
Then you can't close your, my mind
Oh, oh, a, ha
Change your way

[Outro]
(If you wanna make the world a better place)
(Take a look at yourself and then make that change)
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
(Oh yeah, yeah, yeah)
Na-na-na na-na-na nana-nan, oh, yeah, a, ha(Change)
Ooo yeah! (Man in the mirror)
Come on, come on (Make that change)
(Yeah)
