Man in the Mirror Songtext
von Marco Mengoni

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 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 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 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 wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself, and then make a change


Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love
It′s time that I realize
There are some with no home, that are naked alone
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 wanna 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 wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself, and then make the change


I′m starting with the man in the mirror (oh, yeah)
I'm asking him to change his ways (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 mind

I'm starting with the man in the mirror (oh, yeah)
I'm asking him to change his ways (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

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

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 wanna make the world a better place
