*****


I'm gonna make a change for once in my life
It's gonna feel real good, I'm gonna make a diff'rence,
Gonna make it right

As I turn up the collar on my favorite winter coat
This wind is blowin' my mind
I see the kids in the street but not enough to eat,
Who am I to be blind, pretending not to see their needs

A summers disregard, a broken bottle top
And a one mans soul they follow each other on the wind
You know 'cause they got nowhere to go
That's why I want you to know

I'm startin' with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
An' no message could have bin' any clearer,
If ya wanna make the world a better place,
Take a look at yourself and then make a change
Na, na, na na, na, na na.............


I've bin' a victim of a selfish kinda love
It's time that I realise there are some with no home,
Not a nickle to loan, could it be really me
Pretending that they're not all alone

A willow deeply scarred, somebodys 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 startin' with me

I'm startin' with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
An' no message could have bin' any clearer,
If ya wanna make the world a better place,
Take a look at yourself and then make a change

I'm startin' with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
An' no message could have bin' any clearer,
If ya wanna make the world a better place,
Take a look at yourself and then make that

(Key change)
(Change!) I'm startin' with the man in the mirror, oh yeah!
I'm asking him to change his ways
No message could have bin' any clearer,
If ya 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!) the man, (with) the man in the mirror, oh
Yeah, (I'm asking him to change his ways) y' (gonna)
Know! (change) the man (oo
Oo) an' 'bin any clearer, if ya'
Wanna make the world a better place,
Take a look at yourself and then make a change
