Ooh huh, hoo, ooh
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 favourite winter coat
This wind is blowing my mind
I see the kids on 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 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 nananana
Oh oh
I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love
It's time that I realise
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 (washed out dream)
They follow the pattern of the wind you 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
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
You got to get it right, while you got the time
'Cause when you close your heart, then you close your mind
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
Stand up!
Stand up! (make a change)
Stand up!
Stand up!
Lift, yourself now!
