---------------------------------------------------------------

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!
