Original lyrics
ENI'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
Favourite 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
I've been a victim of a selfish
Kind of love
It's time that I realize
That there are some with no
Home, not a nickel to loan
Could it be really me
Pretending that they're not
Alone?
A widow 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
(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
