Man In The Mirror

Michael Jackson

Written by Siedah Garrett and Glen Ballard.

I'm gonna make a change,

for once im my life

It's 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

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

(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

I'm 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 can't 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...)

I'm gonna make a change

It's gonna feel real good!

Come on!

(Change...)

Just lift yourself

You know

You've got to stop it,

Yourself!

(Yeah! - Make that change!)

I've 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)

You've got to move! Come on!

Come on!

Stand up! Stand up! Stand up!

Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!

Aaow!

(Yeah! - Make that change!)

Gonna make that change...

come on!

You know it!

You know it!

You know it...

(Change...)

Make that change.
