What we like
- The song confronts us with facing issues that we may not want to acknowledge or take responsibility for
- It challenges us to make a difference by firstly changing our own ways
Mind experience
- It is often easier to recognise the flaws of another person, another country, the other. It is when we make a conscious effort to think about our own and what good will come of altering these thoughts or actions that we make progress in our own world of change
To think about
- 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
Take a look at yourself
And then make that change
