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 blowing my mind

I see the kids in the streets

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 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 want to make the world a better place

Take a look at yourself

And then make a change

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

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 want to 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 want to 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

I’m 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 the change

You gotta get it right

While you got the time

Cause when you close your heart

Then you close your mind

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 want to make the world a better place

Take a look at yourself

And then make that change

Na na na, Na na na

Na na na nah  

Na na na, Na na na

Na na na nah  

I’m gonna make a change

It’s gonna feel real good

Just lift yourself, you know

You’ve got to start with yourself

I gotta make that change today

You got to, you got to

Not pick yourself brother

You know

I’ve gotta get that man

That man

You got to, you got to move

Shamone, Shamone

You got to stand up, stand up,  

Stand up and lift, yourself now

Make that change, Shamone

You know it, you know it

You know it, you know it

Make that change
