[Verse 1]
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 of my winter coat
Lord, this wind is blowin' my mind
I see the kids on the street
With not enough to eat
Who am I to be blind pretending not to know their needs?

[Pre-Chorus]
A summer's disregard
A broken bottle top
And one man's soul
They follow each other on the wind you know
Because they got no place to go
And so I want you to know

[Chorus]
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could've been any clearer
If you wanna make thе world a better place
Takе a look at yourself and then make a change
[Post-Chorus]
Na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
Oh yeah

[Verse 2]
I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love
It's time that I realize
There are those with no home
Not a nickel to loan
Could it be really me pretending that they're not alone?

[Pre-Chorus]
A willow deeply scarred
Somebody's broken heart
And a washed out dream
They follow the pattern of the wind, you see
Because they got no place to be
That's why I'm starting with me

[Chorus]
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could've 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've 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
And I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could've been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make a change
[Outro]
Oh yeah, make a change
No message could've been any clearer
Come on and make a change
Oh yeah, oh yeah, man in the mirror
