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'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 

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 
(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 a change) 
(Na na na, na na na, na na, na nah) 

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 
(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 
(Starting with me!) 

I'm starting with the man in the mirror 
(Ooh!) 
I'm asking him to change his ways 
(Ooh!) 
And no message could have been any clearer 
If you wanna make the world a better place 
(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 a change) 

I'm starting with the man in the mirror 
(Ooh!) 
I'm asking him to change his ways 
(Change his ways - ooh!) 
And no message could've been any clearer 
If you wanna make the world a better place 
(If you wanna make the world a better place) 
Take a look at yourself and then make that ... 
(Take a look at yourself and then make that ...) 
Change! 

I'm starting with the man in the mirror 
(Man in the mirror - Oh yeah!) 
I'm asking him to change his ways 
(Better 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 the change) 
(You gotta get it right, while you got the time) 
('Cause when you close your heart) 
You can't close your ... your mind! 
(Then you close your ... mind!) 
That man, that man, that man, that man 
With that man in the mirror 
(Man in the mirror, oh yeah!) 
That man, that man, that man, 
I'm asking him to change his ways 
(Better change!) 
You know ... that man 
No message could have been any clearer 
If you wanna make the world a better place 
(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 a change) 
Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! 
Na na na, na na na, na na, na nah 
(Oh yeah!) 
Gonna feel real good now! 
Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah! 
Na na na, na na na, na na, na nah 
(Ooooh...) 
Oh no, no no... 

I'm gonna make a change 
It's gonna feel real good! [bad word] on! 
(Change ...) 
Just lift yourself 
You know 
You've got to stop it, 
Yourself! 
(Yeah! - Make that change!) 
I've got to make that change, today! 
Hoo! 
(Man in the mirror) 
You got to 
You got to not let yourself ... 
brother ... 
Hoo! 
(Yeah! - Make that change!) 
You know - I've got to get 
that man, that man ... 
(Man in the mirror) 
You've got to 
You've got to [bad word] on! [bad word] on! 
You got
