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...

{Verse 1}
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 needs
A summers 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 ya to know:

{Chorus}
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 startin' with me.

{Chorus} 1x

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
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, then make a change. You gotta get it right, while ya got the time. 'Cause when you close your heart, then you close your.. mind"

That man in the mirror {Oh yeah!}
..Change his ways!
No message could've been any clearer:
"If you wanna make the world a better place, take a look at yourself, and then make a ... change"

{Wooh, wooh, ....}

I'm gonna make a change...
It's gonna feel real good, c'mon {Changeeee...}
Just to live yourself, ya know it..
You got to stop it ... yourself {Yeah!}
{Make that change} I'm gonna make that change ... today!{Man in the Mirror}
You gotta, you gotta knot(??) with yourself, brother
{Yeah} ya know {make that change}
I'm gonna get that man,... that man {Man in the Mirror}
You gotta, you gotta move, c'mon, c'mon
You gotta ..stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up and live yourself, now
Hoo, hoo, hoo!! AUW!!
{Make that Change} I'm gonna make that change , c'mon{Man in the Mirror}
Ya know it, ya know it, ya know it, ya know
Changeee...

-Make that change-
