As we strive at Earth Angels Relief to make an impact on the homeless community I can't help but think of the words of a man who touched everyone's heart in some way and broke down the barriers of what is different among us and brought us closer to being one. Through his own suffering he found a way to make a difference with the power of his words and the gift of his talent. These lyrics speak so directly to the difference we are looking to acheive for the homeless community, I felt strongly to share them. It is our mission to be able to provide a back pack to every homeless person that needs one. It is our goal to have 1,000 back packs by July 24th. Together we can do this!
As you read these lyrics, please look into your own heart and your closet, talk to your freinds, your neighbors, your church, your co-workers, your children's school. And above all, please, look in the mirror, together we can make a difference.
As a fifteen year old teenager, I myself followed the wind with no where to go. I was one of the lucky ones.
Let us all start with the "Man (or women!) in the Mirror" and together we can make a change.
"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)
