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
Without 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 ya' 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

I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love
It's time that I realize
There's a 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 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 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 a change

You gotta get it right while you got the time
'Cause when you close your heart
Then you close your mind

That man, with that 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 a change

Oh, no, I'm gonna make a change
It's gonna feel real good
Come on, change
Just lift yourself
You know you've got to stop it yourself
Make that change

I've got to make that change today
Man in the mirror
You got to, you got to not let yourself
Brother, ya' know

I've gotta get that man, that man
You've got to, you've got to move
Come on, come on, you've got to
Stand up, stand up, stand up
Stand up and lift yourself now

You know it, you know it, you know it
You know, change
Make that change
