A Unique Voice for Change

By Adela Rubio

Transformation

There's been so much yakety-yak about Michael Jackson. I have always admired and adored him. Here's a wonderful interview with him that resonated with what I sensed about Michael.

Often we try to reconcile the person (and their personal life) with their work. Big mistake I've learned. I've studied with many masters who were doing amazing stuff whose personal lives left a lot to be desired (in my opinion, hardee-har-har). In the end, it was always an opportunity for me to check my judgment at the door.

Michael was a powerful man, who awakened people to a powerful message. Transformation, it begins in your own zip code.

Peace, Michael…

  1. Morgine,

    Thanks for putting out the lyrics. Since I have always been a Michael fan I’ve known the words inside out.Powerful message and one that I aspire to live.

  2. Not following Michael very much, I had never heard this song. I could not understand the words, so I went on line and looked them up! Wow a song for us all to follow!! THANKS for sharing!! Morgine

    “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
    Favourite 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)
    (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
    (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
    (Starting With Me!)

    I’m Starting With The Man In
    The Mirror
    (Ooh!)
    I’m Asking Him To Change
    His Ways
    (Ooh!)
    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’m Starting With The Man In
    The Mirror
    (Ooh!)
    I’m Asking Him To Change His
    Ways
    (Change His Ways-Ooh!)
    And No Message Could’ve
    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 That . . .
    (Take A Look At Yourself And
    Then Make That . . .)
    Change!

    I’m Starting With The Man In
    The Mirror,
    (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 Wanna 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)
    You Can’t Close Your . . .Your
    Mind!
    (Then You Close Your . . .
    Mind!)
    That Man, That Man, That
    Man, That Man
    With That Man In The Mirror

    Then Make A Change
    (Take A Look At Yourself And
    Then Make A Change)
