I see the kids in the street with not enough to eat

Who am I to be blind? Pretending not to see

their needs

Page 4: "Man in the Mirror" Visual Poetry Presentation

They follow each other on the wind you know, because they got nowhere to go…

Page 5: "Man in the Mirror" Visual Poetry Presentation

If you want to make the world a better place, take

a look at yourself and make a change

Page 6: "Man in the Mirror" Visual Poetry Presentation

I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love

It's time that I realize that there are some with no home and not a nickel to loan

Page 7: "Man in the Mirror" Visual Poetry Presentation

That’s why I’m starting with me.I'm starting with the man in the mirrorI’m asking him to change his ways

Page 8: "Man in the Mirror" Visual Poetry Presentation

You gotta get it right while you’ve got the time

Because when you close your heart, then you close your mind. Better change!

Page 9: "Man in the Mirror" Visual Poetry Presentation

You’ve got to move,

come on!

You’ve got to stand up and make that change!

Man In The Mirror"Song by Michael Jackson

I'm gonna make a change, for once In my life. It's gonna feel real good.I’m gonna make a difference. I’m gonna make it right . . .

I see the kids in the street with not enough to eatWho am I to be blind? Pretending not to see their needs

A summer's disregard, A broken bottle top and a one man’s soulThey follow each other on the wind you know, because they got nowhere to go

That's why I want you to knowI’m starting with the man in the mirror and I'm asking him to change his ways

And no message could have been any clearerIf you want to make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and make a

changeI've been a victim of a selfish kind of love

It's time that I realize that there are some with no home and not a nickel to loan Could it be really me, pretending that they are not alone

A willow deeply scarred, somebody’s broken heart and a washed-out dreamThey follow the pattern of the wind, you see, because 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 clearerIf you want to make the world a better place, take a look at yourself then make a

changeYou gotta get it right while you’ve got the time

Because when you close your heart, then you close your mind, better change!I’m gonna make a change, it’s gonna feel real good! Come on, change!

You know you’ve got to stop it yourself. Make that change!I've got to make that change, today!

You’ve got to move, come on! You’ve got to stand up and make that change!If you want to make the world a better place, take a look at yourself then make a

change
