Lyrics
Man In The Mirror
Michael Jackson
Written by Siedah Garrett and Glen Ballard.
Im gonna make a change,
for once im my life
Its gonna feel real good,
gonna make a diference
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 enought 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
Thats why I want you to know
Im starting with the man in the mirror
Im 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
Na na na, na na na, na na, na nah
Ive been a victim of a selfish kind of love
Its time that I realize
That there are some with no home, not a nickel to loan
Could it be really me, pretending that theyre not alone
A willow deeply scarred, somebodys 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
Thats why Im starting with me
Im starting with the man in the mirror
Im 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
Im starting with the man in the mirror
Im 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!
Im starting with the man in the mirror
Im asking him to change his ways
Better 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 cant close your... your mind!
That man, that man, that man, that man
With the man in the mirror
That man, that man, that man,
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
Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
Na na na, na na na, na na, na nah
Ooooh...
Im gonna make a change
Its gonna feel real good!
Come on!
Change...
Just lift yourself
You know
Youve got to stop it,
Yourself!
Yeah! - Make that change!
Ive got to make that change, today!
Man in the mirror
You got to
You got to not let yourself...
brother
Hoo!
Yeah! - Make that change!
that man, that man...
Man in the mirror
Youve got to move! Come on!
Come on!
