Perry Morgan - Man in the Mirror lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 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 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 me pretending that they're not alone A willow deeply scarred, somebody's broken heart And a 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 [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] 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 [Outro] Make that change!
