Oh oh
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 blowing my mind
I see the kids on 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
because 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've been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
take a look at yourself and make a change
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na Oh oh
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
because they got no place to be, that's 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've been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
take a look at yourself
and make a change
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
and I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could've been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
take a look at yourself and make that
Starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
No message could've been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
take a look at yourself
then make the change
got to get it right
while you've got the time
'cause when you close your heart
you can't close your your mind
That man that man that man that man
that man that man that man
You know that man could've been any clearer
If you wanna make the world
take a look at yourself
then make that change
Na na na na na na na na na na nah
Na na na na na na na na na na nah
