Man in The Mirror

sung by Michael Jackson


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
(if you wanna make the world a better place)
Take a look at yourself, and then make a change
(take a look at yourself and then make a change)
Na 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..
(starting with me!)

I'm starting with the man in the mirror.. Oooh..
I'm asking him to change his ways.. Oooh..
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
(if you wanna make the world a better place)
Take a look at yourself, and then make a change
(take a look at yourself and then make a change)

I'm starting with the man in the mirror.. Oooh..
I'm asking him to change his ways.. Oooh..
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
(if you wanna make the world a better place)
Take a look at yourself, and then make that
(take a look at yourself and then make that)
Change!

I'm starting with the man in the mirror..
(man in the mirror.. Oh yeah!)
I'm asking him to change his ways..
(better change!)
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)
You can't close your.. your mind..!
(then you close your.. mind!)

That man.. That man.. That man.. That man.. With the man in the mirror..
(man in the mirror.. Oh yeah!)
That man.. That man.. That man..
I'm asking him to change his ways
(better change!)
You know.. That man..
No message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
(if you wanna make the world a better place)
Take a look at yourself and then make a change
(take a look at yourself and then make a change)

Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
Na na na.. Na na na.. Na na na.. Na nah..
(oh yeah!)
Gonna feel real good now..
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Na na na.. Na na na.. Na na na.. Na nah..
(Ooohh...)
Oh no, no no..

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! Hoo!
(man in the mirror)
You got to.. You got to not let yourself, Brother.. Hoo!
(yeah.. make that change!)
You know I've got to get that man.. That man..
(man in the mirror)
You've got to.. You've got to move! Come on! Come on!
You got to.. Stand up! Stand up! Stand up!
(yeah.. make that change)
Stand up and lift yourself now..
(man in the mirror)
Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Aaaw..!
(yeah.. 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..


**In a memorial for the greatest King of Pop, Michael Jackson (1958-2009)**


This is one of my very favorite Michael Jackson's song.
I'm not a huge fans of him, but I grew up with most of his songs.
May he rest in peace.. And may his message to this world is linger.
Goodbye, King of Pop!
