Man In The Mirror Lyrics

Lyric discussion by serenity 

Cover art for Man In The Mirror lyrics by Michael Jackson

i think this song is about a change in perspective of a wealthy man when he sees starving children in the streets, beggers freezing......... he realizes that hes been selfish for so long and finally asks himself could this really be me acting this way? hes saying that you cant wait for someone else to come along and make the guilt disappear for you, you've got to start with yourself ie "man in the mirror"
