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

Oh, as I turn up the collar on my
Favourite 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 willow deeply scarred
A broken bottle top
And one man's soul
They follow the pattern of
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
You better look at yourself
And make that change
With the man in the mirror
I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love
It's time that I realize
That there are some with no home
Not a nickel to loan
Could it be only me
Pretending that they're not alone?

A summer's disregard
A broken bottle top
And a one man's soul
They follow each other on
The wind ya' see
'Cause they got nowhere
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
You better look at yourself, and
Make that, oh, change
With the man in the mirror

I'm gonna make a change
For once in my life
