Man in the Mirror (Recorded at Sound Stage Studios Nashville) Russell Dickerson

[Verse 1]
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, yeah
As I turned up the collar on my favorite winter coat
This wind just blows in 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 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

[Chorus]
That I'm starting with the man in the mirror
Oh, yeah
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could've been any clearer
And if you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make a change
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]
I've been a victim of a selfish kinda love
It's time that I realize
There are some with no homes
Without 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 on the wind, ya see
Because they got no place to be
That's why I'm starting with me
