Man In The Mirror Lyrics (Raef Cover) Michael Jackson

By: Raef

I’m going to make a change,
For once in my life….
It’s going to feel real good,
Going to make a difference
Going to 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
With not enough to eat
Who am I to be blind?
Pretending not to see their needs…

A summer disregard,a broken bottle top
And a one man soul

They follow each other on the wind you’ll know
Because 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!

I’ve been a victim of a selfish kind of 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 washed-out dreams
They follow the pattern of the wind you’ll see
Because 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 going to make a change….for once in my….life.
