I'm gonna make a changeFor once in my lifeIt's gonna feel real goodGonna make a differenceGonna make it rightAs I turn up the collar onMy favorite winter coatThis wind is blowin' my mindI see the kids in the streetWith not enough to eatWho am I to be blindPretending not to see their needsA 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 want you to know
I'm starting with the man in the mirrorI'm asking him to change his waysAnd 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 changeI've been a victim of
A selfish kinda love
It's time that I realizeThere are some with no home
Not a nickel to loan
Could it be really me
Pretending that they're not aloneA 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 beThat's why I'm starting with me
I'm starting with the man in the mirrorI'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 changeI'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 that change
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
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
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change (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)
(Na na na, na na na, na na na na na)
Na na na, yeah
Oh yeah
(Na na na, na na na, na na na na na)
I'm gonna make a change for once in my life
(I'm gonna make a change for once in my life)
I'm gonna make a change for once in my life
