Lyrically Inclined
For my latest installment of Lyrically Inclined, I wanted to go with another non-traditional, yet very inspirational song. It’s inspiring and self-motivating. A lot of people get caught up in complaining about things but never do anything to change the situation. You have all the power within you to make a change in your environment. If it’s something you can’t change solely on your own, group together with like-minded people and be committed to making an impact. However, each and every day you can be a positive influence and develop your surroundings for the better. Instead of complaining, first think about how you are blessed and what you are blessed with. Think of the people who have it worse than you… Then after you do that and you still want to complain, by all means, go right on ahead. Just know that if you want a change take a look at yourself and make the steps to do so.
“Man In The Mirror”
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
(If You Wanna Make The
World A Better Place)
Take A Look At Yourself, And
Then Make A Change
(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
(Back to chorus)
-Michael Jackson
