VERSE
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 needs?
A 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.
CHORUS
I'm starting with the man in the mirror.
I'm
Asking him to change his ways
And no message could've been any clearer
If they wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself, and then make a change

VERSE
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 (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
CHORUS
I'm starting with the man in the mirror (oh)
I'm asking him to change his ways (oh)
And 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
I'm starting with the man in the mirror (oh)
I'm asking, him to change his ways? (oh)
And know my side, he kept a band and a clipper
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself, and then make that change
BRIDGE
I'm starting with the man in the mirror (oh yeah)
I'm asking, him to change his ways?
And know my side, he kept a band and a clipper
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
Then you close your, close your, your mind
With the man,
that man, that man, that man, that man, that man, that man, that man, that man, that man, that man, that man, that man, that man, that man, that man, that man, that man,
that man,
that man, that man, that man, that man, that man, that man, that man, that man, that man, that man, that man, that man, that man, that man, that man, that man, that man, that
man,
that man, that man, that man, that man, that man, that man, that man, that man, that man, that man, that man, that man, that man, that man, that man, that man, that man, that man, that man,
that man,
that man, that man, that man, that man, get that man, that man, that man, that
Oh no, oh no.
