I'm gonna make a change,
             for once im my life
            It's gonna feel real good,
             gonna make a diference
            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 enought to eat
            Who am I to be blind?
             Pretending not to see their needs

            A 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 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?

            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
            (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 have been any clearer
            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 the 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 m
            ake the world a better place)
            Take a look at yourself and then make the change
            (Take a look at yourself and then make the change)
            Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
            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!
            Come 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 move! Come on!
            Come on!
            You got to...
            Stand up! Stand up! Stand up!
            (Yeah! - Make that change)
            Stand up and lift yourself, now!
            (Man in the mirror)
            Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
            Aaow!
            (Yeah! - Make that change!)
            Gonna make that change...

            You know it!
            You know it!
            You know it!
            You know it...
            (Change...)
            Make that change.
