Michael Jackson- Man in the Mirror
- 2. I'm gonna makea change For once in my life It's gonna feel real good Gonna make a difference Gonna make it right An individual feeling the need to make a difference. I see the kids in the streets With not enough to eat Who am I to be blind? Pretending not to see their needs Realising the problems in the world and wanting to change that. 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 want to make the world a better place Take a look at yourself, and then make a change Jackson is looking at himself in the mirror and wanting to change himself. If he can change so can others. If you truly do want to make the world a better place change yourself then change the world. Suggesting the power they can have to change the world. You can’t just turn a blind eye when you see children suffering. There is no way you can miss their struggles.
- 3. I've been avictim 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? Jackson realizes that he has been blessed with a family who has loved him, and has always had enough money to live. He knows that others are not so fortunate and some don’t have any money to give. 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 People go through the same cycle of hoping for a change, but never thinking see that change in the world they want to see. Michael Jackson is saying he’s going to break that cycle and change the world.
