Man In the Mirror - Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson is a phenomenal. No doubt about it. He has sang hits, and most tell about social issues. One of the song has become my favorite. The song entitled Man In the Mirror.

The song has a very good message. It tells me to always look at myself and ask myself on what i have done for my surroundings. Most people tend to criticize others, blame others, and being skeptics about many things. Instead of  making a step to change things, they keep on complaining. This song reminds me that a change is needed, and change starts from a simple thing. It starts from myself. That's why he stated ion his song : I'm starting with a man in the mirror" When I look at myself in the mirror i see my own reflection. And i have to change myself before i can change others.

To end racism i have to get rid of prejudice on my mind and hatred in my heart.
To end the poverty i have to change myself as a more giving person.
To create world peace i have to change myself into a forgiving person.
To create unity i have to respect people and love people.
To fight corruption i have to live clean, no bribe.
.

It will always hard to change something, but if I can start from the smallest thing, from myself and others think the same way as i do..then a better world is there for us.
"If you wanna make the world a better place, take a look at yourself, and make that CHANGE!"

"Man In The Mirror"

Ooh ooh ooh aah
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
A 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, yey
Na na na, na na na, na na na na oh ho

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 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 that change

I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways, yeah
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
(You can't close your, your mind)
Then you close your mind
