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 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
 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,  ya' see
 Cause they got  no where 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 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 a change
You  gotta get it right, while you got the time
You  can't close your, your mind
 That man,  that man,  that man,  that man,  oh yeah
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

If you wa[C]nna make the world a better place
[C]Take a look at yourself, and then make a change
[C]You gotta get it right, while you got the time
[C7]You can't close your, your m[F]ind
That [Am]man, that m[Bb]an, that m[C]an, that [F]man, oh y[Am]eah [Bb]     [C]

[F]And no mes[Am]sage could have b[Bb]een any cl[B]earer
If you wa[C]nna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself, and then make a ch[F]ang[Am]e   [Dm]       [C]          [Bb]
