Ah, ooh-ooh-ooh
I, ooh, ah, ooh!
I'm gonna make a change, ooh!
For once in my life
Ah!
It's gonna feel real good
Gonna make a difference
Gonna make it right, ah!
As I turned up the collar on my favorite winter coat
This wind is blowin' my mind, ah!
I see the kids in the street, with not enough to eat
Who am I to be blind pretending not to see their needs?
Ah!
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 a-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 they wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make a cha-ange, ah!
Na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na, na
Ah-ha, ah, ah, ah
I've been a victim of a selfish kinda 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 a-why I'm starting with me
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'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-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 and then make the change
You gotta get it right, while you got the time-time--
You can't close your, your mind!
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, na
Gotta feel good, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Oh no, oh, no
