For once in my life

Gonna make a difference

Gonna make it right

As I, turn up the collar on

My favorite 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 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

If they wanna make the world a better place

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 (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

Take a look at yourself and then make that

Change

I'm starting with the man in the mirror (oh yeah)

(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 when you close your heart) you can't

(Then you close your) close your, your mind

With the man in the mirror, oh yeah

(Oh yeah) gonna feel real good now

Come on (change)

Just lift yourself

You know

You've got to stop it

Yourself (yeah)

(Make that change)

I've got to make that change today

(Man in the mirror) you got to

You got to not let yourself brother

(Yeah) you know

(Make that change) I've got to get that man, that man

You've got to

You've got to move

Come on

Come on

You got to

Stand up, stand up (yeah, make that change)

Stand up

Stand up and lift

Yourself, now

(Yeah, make that change)

Gonna make that change come on

You know

Change

Make that change
