Man in the Mirror

作詞：SIEDAH GARRETT, GLEN BALLARD     作曲：SIEDAH GARRETT, GLEN BALLARD

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 turned 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
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

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 kinda love
It's time that I realize
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 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 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
Cause when you close your heart
Then you close your mind

I'm gonna make a change
It's gonna feel real good!
Chime on (Change)
Just lift yourself, you know
You've got to stop it
Yourself (Yeah! Make that change)
I've got to make that change, today
Hoo (Man in the mirror)
You got to
You got to not let yourself
Brother, hoo (Yeah! Make that change)
You know, I've got to get
That man, that man (Man in the mirror)
You've got to move! Chime on
Chime on! You got to
Stand up! Stand up! Stand up (Yeah! Make that change)
Stand up and lift yourself, now (Man in the mirror)

You make that change
Chime on (Man in the mirror)
You know it
You know it
You know it
You know it (Change)
Make that change
