Lyrics: Siedah Garrett/Glen Ballard
Music: Siedah Garrett/Glen Ballard
I'm gonna make a change
for once im my life
It's gonna feel real good
gonna make a diference
Gonna make it right
As I turn up the collar on
my favorite winter coat
This wind is blowing my mind
I see the kids in the streets
with not enought to eat
Who am I to be blind?
Pretending not to see their needs
A summer disregarda broken bottle top
And a one man 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 nah)
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 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
Cause 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
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 then make the change
You gotta get it right while you got the time
Cause You can't close your your mind!
That man that man that man that man
That man that man that man
I'm asking him to change his ways
No no 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
Na na na na na na na na na nah
oh yeah
Na na na na na na na na na nah
It's gonna feel real good!
Come on! Change
make that change
Change~
