Man in the Mirror Lyrics

Tenor solo - all tenors to learn

I’m gonna make a change

For once in my life

It's gonna feel real good

It's gonna make a difference

Gonna make it right


A+T 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

ALL Who am I, to be blind, pretending not to see their needs?

A summer's disregard

A broken bottle top

A+T And a one man's soul (S one man's soul________)

A+T They follow each other on the wind ya know

ALL 'Cause they got nowhere to go

That's why I want you to know

I'm starting with the man in the mirror, oh yeah!

I'm asking him to change his ways, oh change!

A2+T No message could've been any clearer (S+A1 oo oo_____)

ALL If you wanna make the world, a better place

Take a look at yourself, and make a cha-e-ange

Na na na, na na na, na na__ na na__

(S Oo_________) A+T I've been a victim of, a selfish kind of love,

It's time that I realise (S I realise____)

A+T There are some with no home

ALL Not a nickel to loan

Could it be, really me, pretending that they're not alone?

A willow deeply scarred

Somebody's broken heart

A+T And a washed out dream (S a washed out dream____)

A+T They follow the pattern of the wind ya see

ALL 'Cause they got, no place to be,

That's why I'm starting with me

I'm starting with the man in the mirror, oh yeah!

I'm asking him to change his ways, oh change!

A2+T No message could've been any clearer (S+A1 oo oo_____)

ALL If you wanna make the world, a better place

Take a look at yourself, and make a cha-e-ange

I'm starting with the man in the mirror, oh yeah!

I'm asking him to change his ways, oh change!

A2+T No message could've been any clearer (S+A1 oo oo_____)

ALL If you wanna make the world, a be-tter-place

Take a look at yourself, and make that - CHANGE!

S I'm starting with the ALL man in the mirror, oh yeah!

S I'm asking him to ALL change his ways, oh change!

S No message could've been any clearer (A+T oo oo_____)

ALL If you wanna make the world, a better place

Take a look at yourself, and make a change,

you gotta get it right, while you got the time,

Cos when you close your heart, you close your - MIND!

ALL Man in the mirror, oh yeah!

Change his ways, oh change!

Oo oo

If you wanna make the world, a better place,

Take a look at yourself, and make a - CHANGE

Na na na, na na na, na na__ na na__

Oh yeah!

Na na na, na na na, na na__ na na__

Make that change

Man in the mirror

S1 Ah_____

S2+A+T Make that change

ALL Man in the mirror

Change_____

A2s + Tenors sing first few choruses in Unison as they sit next to each other and therefore A1 takes the lower part in this song. - For a 'change' ;-)

On recordings, 1+2 for any split parts are panned hard left and right for headphone users to hear their part - 1s LEFT and 2s RIGHT

Tenors have a split part on the final note - this is split with the lower note panned to the right
