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 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 now want ya' 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 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
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 starting with the man in the mirror
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
Oh
Yeah!
I'm asking him to change his ways
'Cause you better change! -
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 the change.
You gotta get it right while you got the 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 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!

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 that change!
I've got to make that change today
Man in the mirror

You got to - you got to not let yourself
Brother - ya' know
I've gotta get that man - that man
You've got to - you've got to move
Come on - come on - you've got to stand up
Stand up - stand up
Stand up and lift yourself now
Gonna make that change - come on
You know it - you know it - you know it
You know - change
Make that change!
