text: In my veins, Ive felt the mystery
  Of corridors of time, books of history
  Life songs of ages throbbing in my blood
  Have danced the rhythm of the tide and flood
  Do you care?
  Have you a part?
  In the deepest emotions of my own heart
  Im gonna make a change
  For once in my life
  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
  See the kids in the street, with not enough to eat
  Who am I to be blind, pretending not to see their needs
  A summers disregard, a broken bottle top
  And one mans 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 nana-nana
  Ive been a victim of a selfish kinda love
  Its time that I realize
  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
  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 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 
  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 the change
  You gotta get it right, while you got the time
  Cause when you close your heart 
  Then you close your mind 
   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 want to make the world a better place
  Take a look at yourself and then make that
  Change!
