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 in the streets
With not enough to eat
Who am I to be blind
Pretending not to see their needs?
A summer disregard
A broken bottle top
And a one man 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'm starting with the man in the mirror (oh!)
I'm asking him to change his ways (oh!)
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)
You can't close your, your mind!
(Then you close your mind!)
I'm starting with the man in the mirror (oh!)
I'm asking him to change his ways (oh!)
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
Stand up!
Stand up!
Stand up!
(Make that change!)
Stand up and lift yourself now
(Man in the mirror)
Uhh! Uhh! Uhh!
(Make that change!) Stand up!
You know it! You know it
You know it! You know it
(Change) make that change
