ᴍᴀɴ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ᴍɪʀʀᴏʀ by Michael Jackson (1987)

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've been any clearer

If they 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 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 (oh)

I'm asking him to change his ways (oh)

And no message could've 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 (oh)

I'm asking him to change his ways (oh)

And no message could've been any clearer

If you wanna make the world a better place

Take a look at yourself and then make that

ChangeI'm starting with the man in the mirror (oh yeah)

I'm asking him to change his ways (better change)

No message could've been any clearer

(If you wanna make the world a better place)

(Take a look at yourself and then make the change) you can't

(Then you close your) close your, your mind

With the man in the mirror, oh yeah

I'm asking him to change his ways (better change)

No message could've been any clearer

If you wanna make the world a better place

Take a look at yourself and then make a change

gonna feel real good now

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) I've got to make that change today

(Man in the mirror) you got to

You got to not let yourself brother

(Yeah) you know

(Make that change) I've got to get that man, that man

You've got to

You've got to move

Come on

Come on

You got to

Stand up, stand up (yeah, make that change)

Stand up

Stand up and lift

Yourself, now

(Man in the mirror) 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
