[Strofa 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
[Strofa 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 needs?
[Pre-ritornello]
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
[Ritornello]
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
[Strofa 3]
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?
[Pre-ritornello]
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
[Ritornello]
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
[Ritornello]
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
[Ritornello]
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
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
You gotta get a ride
You gotta lose your mind, your mind then then
Na na na na
Na na na na
