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

A summer disregard, somebody's broken heart
And a one man soul
They follow the pattern of 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, change
(Na na na, na na na, na na, na nah)
Oh no..... uhmm

I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love
It's time that I realize
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 asking him to changeee 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'm starting with the man in the mirror....
I'm asking him to changeee 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 the change
They gonna get it right, while they got the time
You can't close your your mind na nah
The man in the mirror
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, change
Na na na, na na na, na na, na nah
Uhmm yah yah yah yah yah
Oh gonna make a change.....
