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 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
Na na na, na na na, na na, na na

I’ve been a victim of a selfish kind of 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 that change

I’m starting with the man in the mirror, oh yeah
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
You gotta get it right while you got the time
’Cause when you close your heart, then you close your mind

With that man in the mirror , oh yeah
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 a change
Na na na, na na na, na na, na na, oh yeah
Na na na, na na na, na na na na, oh no, oh no

I’m gonna make a change, it’s gonna feel real good, come 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
(Man in the mirror)

You got to, you got to not let yourself brother
(Yeah, make that change)
You know, I’ve got to get that man, that man
(Man in the mirror)
You’ve got to, you’ve got to move, come on, come on

You got to, stand up, stand up, stand up
(Yeah, make that change)
Stand up and lift, yourself, now
(Man in the mirror)

(Yeah, make that change)
Gonna make that change, come on
(Man in the mirror)
You know it, you know it, you know it, you know
(Change)
Make that change
