I'm gonna make a change for once in my life It's gonna feel real good gonna make a diference 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 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 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 (Na na na na na na na na na na) 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 You gotta get it right,while you got the time Cuz' you can't close your mind 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 the change
