## Lyrics
[verse]
I saw the headlines fold into the gutter
Another stranger crying in the rain
I used to look away and change the channel
Now I can't pretend I don't feel the pain

[chorus]
So I'm starting with the face that stares back at me
Asking the reflection what it's gonna be
If I want the world to soften, wake up, and see
I gotta be the change I'm looking for, starting with me

[verse]
There's a boy who's sleeping underneath a bridge tonight
There's a mother counting coins beneath a broken light
I've been talking all my life about a better way
Time to stop the talking, time to walk it out today

[chorus]
So I'm starting with the face that stares back at me
Asking the reflection what it's gonna be
If I want the world to soften, wake up, and see
I gotta be the change I'm looking for, starting with me

[bridge]
No more turning collars up against the cold outside
No more closing curtains just to keep the world outside
Open up your hands, open up your eyes
This is where the change begins, this is where it lies

[chorus]
So I'm starting with the face that stares back at me
Asking the reflection what it's gonna be
If I want the world to soften, wake up, and see
I gotta be the change I'm looking for, starting with me
