Hi everyone my name is bethkay and this is my entry for the vibes web3 music competition week 25 and i decided to sing man in the mirror by Michael Jackson
"Man in the Mirror" by Michael Jackson is one of his most iconic songs, released in 1988 as part of his Bad album. The song carries a powerful message about self-improvement and the need for personal responsibility in making the world a better place. Its lyrics encourage introspection and self-reflection, urging individuals to take a look at themselves and make a change if they want to see a difference in the world.
The song was written by Glen Ballard and Siedah Garrett, and it became one of Michael Jackson's most influential tracks, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and earning numerous accolades. The song's message of social change, paired with its emotive melody, made it a timeless anthem for both personal growth and global awareness.
Lyrics
I'm gonna make a change for once in my life
Its gonna feel real good
Gonna make a difference
Gonna make it right
As i turn up the collar on
My favourite winter coat
This wind is blowing 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 need
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've been any clearer
If they wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make a change
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 (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 (oh)
I'm asking him to change his ways (oh)
And no message could've 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 (oh)
I'm asking him to change his ways (oh)
And no message could've 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 (oh yeah)
I'm asking him to change his ways (better change)
No message could've been any clearer
(If you wanna make the world a better place)
(Take a look at yourself and then make the change)
you can't
(Then you close your) close your, your mind
With the man in the mirror, oh yeah
I'm asking him to change his ways (better change)
No message could've been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make a change
