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, turn up the collar on 
My favorite winter coat 
This wind is blowing my mind 
I see the kids in the streets 
With not enough to eat 
Who am I to be blind? 
Pretending not to see their needs 

summer disregard, a broken bottle top 
And a one man 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 want to make the world a better place 
Take a look at yourself, and then make a change 

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? 

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 want to make the world a better place 
Take a look at yourself, and then make a Change!
