Man In The Mirror

Michael Jackson

Written by Siedah Garrett and Glen Ballard.



I'm gonna make a change,

for once im my life

It's gonna feel real good,

(Na na na, na na na, na na, na nah)

And a washed-out dream

(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

(Starting with me!)



I'm starting with the man in the mirror

(Ooh!)

(Ooh!)

And no message could have been any clearer

If you wanna make the world a better place

(If you wanna make the world a better place)

Take a look at yourself, and then make a change
