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 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 thier 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 no where to go That's why I want you to know
Chorus: 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 (If you wanna make the world a better place) Take a look at yourself, and then make a change (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 nickle to loan Could it really be 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 (Starting with me)
