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 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 no where 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 that change Nanana nanana nana ( O oh...) 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 mean, Pretending that they're not alone? A willow deeply scarred ( scarred), somebody's broken heart ( heart) And a washed out dream (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 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 I'm starting with the man in the mirror ( Oh yeah) I'm asking him to change his ways ( change his ways) And no message could have been any clearer ( Ooh ooh) If you wanna make the world a better place Take a look at yourself, and then make a change ( Come on! ) You got to get it right, when you got the time 'Cause when you close your ( You can't), then you close your ( Your) mind!
