Man In The Mirror Lyrics - X Factor (us)

I'm going to 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 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 need? 

A summer's disregard, a broken bottle top 

And 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 

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 mean, 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, oh yeah 

I'm asking him to change his ways, yeah 

(Come on, 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 

With the man in the mirror, oh yeah 

(That man, that man, that man) 

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 

I'm gonna make a change 

It's gonna feel real good 

Come on 

(Change) 

Just lift yourself 

You know, you got to stop it yourself 

(Yeah) 

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, that man 

(Make that change) 

(I gotta make that make me then make) 

You got, you got to move 

Come on, come on 

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, come on) 

(Man in the mirror) 

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

Change, make that change
