CHILDHOOD Lyrics

Artist: Michael Jackson
Album: History Past Present & Future

Written and Composed by Michael Jackson.
Produced by Michael Jackson.

Have you seen my Childhood?
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 I've never known...

Have you seen my Childhood?
I'm searching for that wonder in my youth
Like fantastical stories to share
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....

This is such a beautiful song. The words that Michael wrote says it all.

Michael once said he doesn't sing it if he doesn't mean it--this song touched my heart. How lonely he must have felt.

It’s sad how cruel people can be. How is it that there are the worst sort of people and their crimes are ignored but others like Michael Jackson they are fixated on destroying. He had remarkable talent that artists can never surpass. Although I never met him, I could tell that he had a gentle soul. Innocent and kind. I hope that he is doing well in heaven.
