Man In The Mirror

Michael Jackson

Gotta make a change

For once in my life

It's gonna feel real good

Gonna make a difference

Gonna make it right

As I turned up the collar on

A 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

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, yey

Na na na, na na na, na na na na oh ho

I've been a victim of

A selfish kinda love

It's time that I realize

There are some with no home

Not a nickel to loan

Could it be really 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

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

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

(Man in the mirror, oh yeah)

I'm asking him to change his ways, yeah

(Change)

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 when you close your heart

(You can't close your, your mind)

Then you close your mind

(That man, that man, that man)

(That man, that man, that man)

(With the man in the mirror, oh yeah)

(That man you know, that man you know)

(That man you know, that man you know)

I'm asking him to change his ways

(Change)

No message could have been any clearer

If you wanna make the world a better place

Take a look at yourself then make that change

(Na na na, na na na, na na na na)

Ooh, oh yeah

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

(Na na na, na na na, na na na na)

Oh no

Oh no, I'm gonna make a change

It's gonna feel real good

Sure mon

(Change)

Just lift yourself

You know, you got to stop it yourself

(Yeah)

Oh, make that change

(I gotta make that change today, oh)

(Man in the mirror)

You got to, you got to not let yourself, brother oh

Yeah, you know that

(Make that change)

(I gotta make that make me then make)

You got, you got to move

Sure mon, sure mon

You got to

(Stand up, stand up, stand up)

Make that change

Stand up and lift yourself, now

(Man in the mirror)

Make that change

(Gonna make that change, sure mon)

(Man in the mirror)

You know it, you know it, you know it, you know

(Change)

Make that change
