Gotta make a change,
For once in my life,
It's gonna feel real good,
Gonna make a difference,
Gonna make it right.
As I turned 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 na na.
I've been a victim of,
A selfish kinda love,
It's time that I realize,
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,
Somebody's broken heart,
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.
