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.

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,

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 make 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
