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 blowin' my mind
I see the kids in the street
With not enough to eat
Who am I, to be blind?
Pretending not to see their need
A summer's disregard
A broken bottle top
And a one man's 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 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
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
(a washed-out dream)
They follow the pattern of
The wind, you 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
(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
Take a look at yourself
And then make a change

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 that
Change!

I'm starting with the 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 if you close your heart
Then you close your...)
Mind!

Starting with the man in the mirror
(oh yeah!)
I'm asking him to change
(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 a change
Na na na, na na na, na na, na nah
(oh yeah!)
Na na na, na na na, na na, na nah
I'm gonna make a change
For once in my life
I'm gonna make a change
For once in my life
