As I turn up the collar of
My favorite winter coat
This wind is blowing my mind
I see the kids in the street
With not enough to eat
Who am I to be blind?
Pretending no 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 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 nah

I've been a victim of
A shellfish kind of love
It's time that I realise
That 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 want to 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
(Ooh!)
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you want to 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
No message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world
A better place
Take a look at yourself
And make the change
(You gotta get it right while you got the time
'Cause when you close your heart)
When you close your heart
(Then you close your mind!)
You can close your...mind!
That man, that man, that man
Im asking him to change his ways
(Better change!)
You know...that man
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
Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
Na na na, na na na, na na, na nah
Oh yeah!
Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah!
Na na na, na na na, na na, na nah!
(Oooooh)
Oh no, no no
I'm gonna make a change
It's gonna feel real good
Come on!
(Change...)
Just lift yourself
You've got to stop it yourself
(Yeah! Make that change!)
(Yeah! make that change!)
I've got to make that change, today
Hoo!
(Man in the mirror)
You go to
You got to let yourself...

Hoo!
(Yeah! Make that change)
You know, I've got to get that man
That man...
(Man in the mirror)
You got to
You 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!
(Mand in the mirror)
