Man in the Mirror

[Verse 1]
I'm gonna make a change, ah
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 without 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, you 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 makе the world a better placе
Take a look at yourself and then make a change
Na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na, na-na

[Verse 2]
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?
A willow deeply scarred, somebody's broken heart
And a washed-out dream (Washed-out dream)
They follow the pattern of the wind, you 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 (Who?)
I'm asking him to change his ways (Who?)
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 (Oh, yeah)
I'm asking him to change his ways (A change)
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 the change

[Outro]
You gotta get it right, while you got the time
'Cause when you close your heart
Then you close your mind
Na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na, na-na
Oh, yeah
Na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na-na
I'm gonna make a change
It's gonna feel real good, come on (Change)
You've got to lift yourself, you know it
You've got to start with yourself, (Yeah), yeah
(Make that change) I gotta make that change today
(Man in the mirror) Oh, you know it, you know it, you know it, oh, oh
(Yeah) Yeah (Make that change)
Yeah, gotta make that change today (Man in the mirror), ah
Do it today, do it today, do it today, hey, yeah-yeah, ooh
(Change)
