I’m gonna make a change
For once in my life, yeah
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 need

A summer's disregard
A broken bottle top
And a one man's soul, yeah
They follow each other on the wind you know
'Cause 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 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

Yeah, I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love
It's time that I realize, yeah
That there are some with no home
Not a nickel to loan
Could it be really me
Pretending that they're not alone

A widow deeply scarred
Somebody's broken heart
And a washed out dream, yeah
They follow the pattern of the wind, you 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 that change
You gotta get it right, while you got the time

You can't close your your mind
That man, that man, that man
I'm asking him to change his ways
No no 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, yeah
Na na na na na na na na na na na nah oh
Oh yeah yeah yeah
Na na na na na na na na na na na nah

Gonna make a change
It's gonna feel real good
Come on (Change)
Start with that man, uh uh
You got to start with yourself brother
Yeah, you gotta (Make that change)
You gotta make that change today
