Lyrics:
How do I make a change?
Iʻm gonna make a change, for once in my life.
Itʻs 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 blowinʻ 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 summerʻs disregard, a broken bottle top,
and a one manʻs soul.
They follow each other on the wind, ya know,
ʻcause they got no place to go, thatʻs why I want you to know.

Iʻm starting with the man in the mirror,
Iʻm 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 a change.

Iʻve been a victim of a selfish kind of love.
Itʻs time that I realize that there are some with no home,
not a nickel to loan.
Could it be really me, pretending that theyʻre not a lone?
A willow deeply scarred, somebodyʻs broken heart,
and a washed out dream.
They follow the pattern of the wind, ya see,
ʻcause they got no place to be. Thatʻs why Iʻm starting with me.

Iʻm starting with the man in the mirror,
Iʻm asking him to change hi 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 a change.
