Man in the Mirror Songtext

Man in the Mirror Songtext
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 favorite winter coat
This wind is blowing my mind
I see the kids in the streets
With not enough to eat
Who am I to be blind?
Pretending not to see their needs
A summer disregard
A 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 girl in the mirror
I′m asking her to change her 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 the 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, you 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 her to change her 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 the change
I′m starting with the man in the mirror, oh yeah
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 the-
Change!
Man in the mirror, oh yeah
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 the change
You gotta get it right, while you got the time
When you close your heart, you close your, your mind
I'm starting with the man in the mirror, oh yeah
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!
I'm starting with the man in the mirror, oh yeah
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 the-
Change!
Na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na, na
Oh, yeah!
Na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na, na
I'm gonna make a change
It's gonna feel real good! Come on!
(Make the change) You gonna be yourself! You know
(Man in the mirror) You′ve got to stop it, yourself!
(Make the change) Got to make the change, got to make it now
Gonna make you real...(man in the mirror), realize soon
Gonna make it, gonna make it (make the change)
Make the change, make the change
Gonna make it-make it-make it soon (man in the mirror)

Oh, make it! (man in the mirror)
Oh, make it! And now, make it!
