lyrics

Man in the mirror
Watch yourself
You’ve been hiding a little
You’ve been held

Cross the border to the other side
Need yourself
Can’t you see I’m feeling down?
Feeling lonely like I’ve never been
Talk to me
Give me just an “Hi”

Tonight
The air heavy
I need to feel alive
And cry
Spread my wings and fly

You got the right to be free
You got the right to believe in yourself
You got the right to be here, with me

Man in the mirror
Caught in a crossfire
You’ve been the needing
I’ve been trying to hide
Give you a little love and affection
Give you the right
Part of the action

Man in the mirror
What do you want?
Man in the mirror
In case you don’t know

There’s a lot of things we’ve gotta do
Maybe shout and scream
To share our point of view
Together
You belong to me
I see myself in you

Before the day comes
We’ll be getting through
To grab the light and move

You got the right to be free
You got the right to believe in yourself
You got the right to be here, with me

Man in the mirror
Caught in a crossfire
You’ve been the needing
I’ve been trying to hide
Give you a little love and affection
Give you the right
Part of the action

There’s a Man in the Mirror
