Man in the mirror

MAN IN THE MIRROR

(Glen Ballard/ Siedah Garret)

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 favourite winter coat
This wind is blowing 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 a one man“s soul

They follow each other on the wind
Ya“know
Cause they got nowhere to go

That“s why I know want ya“to know:

I“M STARTING WITH THE MAN IN THE MIRROR
I“M ASKING HIM TO CHANGE HIS WAYS

AND NO MASSAGE 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 kind of love
It“s time that I realize
That there are some with no home
Not a nockel 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

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 MASSAGE 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 MASSAGE 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 MASSAGE COULD HAVE BEEN ANY CLEARER:
IF YOU WANNA MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE
TAKE A LOOK AT YOURSELF AND THEN MAKE A CHANGE

You gotta get it right while you got time
Cause when you close your heart
Then you close your, your mind

That man
That man
With that man in the mirror

That man
That man

That man
That man
I“m asking him to change his ways

Better change
That man
Ya“know
That man

NO MASSAGE COULD HAVE BEEN ANY CLEARER:
IF YOU WANNA MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE
TAKE A LOOK AT YOURSELF AND THEN MAKE A CHANGE

Gonna feel real good
Yeah!
I“m gonna make a change
It“s gonna feel real good
Come on!
Change
Just lift yourself

You know you“ve got to stop it
Yourself
Make the change
I“ve got to make the change today
