Man in The Mirror lyrics

I'm going to make a change

For once in my life

It's gonna feel real good

Gonna make a difference, gonna make it right

As I turned 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 need?

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

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'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

(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 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, yeah

(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 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

With the man in the mirror, oh yeah

(That man, that man, that man)

I'm asking him to change his ways

(Change)

No message could have been any clearer

If you wanna make the world a better place

Take a look at yourself then make that change

I'm gonna make a change

It's gonna feel real good

Come on

(Change)

Just lift yourself

You know, you got to stop it yourself

(Yeah)

Make that change

(I gotta make that change today, oh)

(Man in the mirror)

You got to, you got to not let yourself, brother oh

Yeah, that man

(Make that change)

(I gotta make that make me then make)

You got, you got to move

Come on, come on

You got to stand up, stand up, stand up

(Make that change)

Stand up and lift yourself, now

(Man in the mirror)

Make that change

(Gonna make that change, come on)

(Man in the mirror)

You know it, you know it, you know it, you know

Change, make that change
