Childhood

CHILDHOOD

Written and Composed by Michael Jackson

(Theme from “Free Willy 2”)

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…?
