Childhood by Michael Jackson

**This post is dedicated to my sisters**

"I love them (his fans) very much. They (his fans) have learned about me and know about me from a distance. If you really want to know about me, there is a song I wrote - - which is the most honest song I've ever written. It's the most autobiographical song I've ever written. It's called childhood. They should listen to it. That's the one. They really should listen to it."
- by Michael Jackson.


Have you seen my Childhood?
by Michael Jackson

I'm searching for the world that I come from
'Cause I've been looking around
In the lost and found of my heart...
No one understands me
They view it as such strange eccentricities...
'Cause I keep kidding around
Like a child, but pardon me...

People say I'm not okay
'Cause I love such elementary things...
It's been my fate to compensate,
for the Childhood I've never known...

Have you seen my Childhood?
I'm searching for that wonder in my youth
Like pirates in adventurous dreams,
Of conquest and kings on the throne...

Before you judge me, try hard to love me,
Look within your heart then ask,
Have you seen my Childhood?
People say I'm strange that way
'Cause I love such elementary things,
It's been my fate to compensate, for the Childhood (Childhood) I've never known...

Have you seen my Childhood?
I'm searching for that wonder in my youth
Like fantastical stories to share
But the dreams I would dare, watch me fly...

Before you judge me, try hard to love me.
The painful youth I've had
Have you seen my Childhood....
