Tekster: James Morrison. Other. The Man In The Mirror.


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 favourite winter coat
This thing 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 summers' disregaurd
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

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, change, yeah
nah nah nah nah nah nah na na na na nana
oh no no,
I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love itis time that i realise 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
somebodies broken heart
and a washed-out dream
they follow the pattern of the wind ya'see cause they got no place to be
thats why I'm starting with me

I'm starting with the man in the mirror
oh
now I'm asking him to change his ways
oh
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 that change , 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 wanna make the world a better place take a look at yourself and make that change
I'm starting with teh man in the mirror , im asking him to change his awya and no message could have been any cleare if you wanna make the world a better place take a look at yourself then make that change
you gotta get it right while you've got the time
cuase when you close your heart you can't close your mind!
then you can close your mind
that man, that man , that man , that man , with that man in the mirror ,
oh yeah
that man that man that man
I'm asking him to change his ways
you 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 make that change
... etc
