Man in the Mirror Songtext
von Texas Lightning

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
The wind is blowin′ my mind
I see the kids in the street, with not enough to eat
Who am I, to be blind?
Pretending up to see their needs
A summers 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 ya 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 make a change
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 startin′ with me
I′m starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his way
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself, and make a change
A summers 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 ya 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 make a change
You gotta can it right, why you got the time
'Cause when you close your heart you can close your mind
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
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 make a...
