Man in the Mirror

Okay, I'm taking a break from my bottles, because this song just hits home this week. Paul and I have been watching the artistry of Michael Jackson this week...."This is It" and his 30th anniversary concert. The man was a genius in so many fields. His concerts were an art form onto themselves! And this week seems to have been full of people refusing to take responsibility for their choices (granted, some of those people are only about three feet tall), and I've had about all I can take. I wish there was some way to instill this idea in our world...

I'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 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 Nah)

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 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

You Gotta Get It Right While You Got The Time

'Cause When You Close Your Heart
Then You Close Your Mind!
