Man in the mirror

Eg likar når andre seier eller har sagt det eg tenker for meg, for då vert de betre formuleringar ;) Her er teksten til songen "Man in the mirror" av Michael Jackson. Eg lar den snakka for seg sjølv.

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

-

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 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

"Be the change you want to see in the world"
