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


Bridge:
                  
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 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 nah



Verse 2:
                          
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?


Bridge:
                      
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 where to be
                             
That's why I'm starting with me


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'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 a change

You gotta get it right, while you got the time
                          
You can't close your, your mind
                                            
That man, that man, that man, that man, oh yeah


Outro:
                                
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
