Marco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For once I'm 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
I see the kids in the streets
With not enough to eat
Who am I to be blind?
Pretending not to see their needs
A summer disregard, a broken bottle top
And a one man 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 want to 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 want to 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
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you want to 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 have been any clearer
If you want to make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make the change
You gotta get it right, while you got the time
'Cause when you close your heart
Then you close your, mind
I'm starting with the man in the mirror (oh yeah)
I'm asking him to change his ways (better change)
No message could have been any clearer
If you want to make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make the change
Na na na, na na na, na na, na nah
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
No message could have been any clearer
If you want to make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make the change

The song encourages the listener to start with introspection and to acknowledge their own flaws. By taking a hard look at oneself and making personal changes, they can contribute to making the world a better place.
Overall, "Man in the Mirror" is a call to action, urging individuals to be more aware of their impact on the world and inspiring them to take responsibility for making positive changes in their own lives and in society as a whole.

I observe the children on the roads
With not enough to eat
Without sufficient food
Who am I to be blind?
Why should I ignore their situation?
Pretending not to see their needs
Acting like I'm unaware of their necessities
A summer disregard, a broken bottle top
A lack of concern during summertime, a broken cap of a bottle
And a one man soul
And a single person's spirit
They follow each other on the wind, ya' know
They move together due to the wind, you understand
'Cause they got nowhere to go
Since they have nowhere to be
That's why I want you to know
This is the reason I want you to understand
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I begin by changing myself

It's time that I realize
I must understand now
That there are some with no home, not a nickel to loan
That some individuals lack shelter and resources
Could it be really me, pretending that they're not alone?
Is it truly myself, pretending they are not lonely?
A willow deeply scarred, somebody's broken heart
A deeply wounded willow tree, someone's shattered emotions
And a washed-out dream
And a faded or failed aspiration
They follow the pattern of the wind, ya' see
They conform to the wind's course, you see
'Cause they got no place to be
Since they have nowhere to belong
That's why I'm starting with me
This is why I am beginning with myself
You gotta get it right, while you got the time
You must achieve it correctly, while you have the opportunity
'Cause when you close your heart
Because when you shut off your compassion
Then you close your, mind
You also close your mind
I'm starting with the man in the mirror (oh yeah)
I initiate change with the reflection in the mirror (oh yeah)
I'm asking him to change his ways (better change)
I am requesting his behavior to be modified (better change)
Take a look at yourself and then make the change
Evaluate yourself and then implement the change
No message could have been any clearer
No communication could have been more explicit
You gotta get it right, while you got the time
You must achieve it correctly, while you have the opportunity
Take a look at yourself and then make the change
Evaluate yourself and then implement the change
