Текст песни Man In The Mirror, 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 blowing my mind

I see the kids in the street without 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 now want ya 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
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

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 starting with the man in the mirror
. . .

I m starting with the man in the mirror
- oh
yeah!
I m asking him to change his ways

- cause you 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 then you close your

your mind!

That man
that man
- with that man in the mirror

- that man
that man

That man
that man
- I m asking him to change his ways

better change!
That man
ya know
that man

- 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!

Gonna feel real good
yeah!
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
- make that change!
I ve got to make that change today
- man in the mirror -.

You got to - you got to not let yourself -
brother - ya know -
I ve gotta get that man - that man -
you ve got to - you ve got to move
Come on - come on - you ve got to stand up -
stand up - stand up -
Stand up and lift yourself now -
gonna make that change - come on -
You know it - you know it - you know it -
you know - change -
Make that change!
