Childhood

I remember years ago when Michael Jaskson and Madonna were what my childhood friend and I danced and sang to. I was listening to some news clips on CNN. They showed a clip of an interview of Michael Jackson where he asked people to listen to his song Childhood. He begs for people to understand him. I am saddened to wonder if he ever met the God who completely understood him. The One and only being that truly loved Michael for who he was created to be. Read the lyrics below. I pray that these words may never be uttered by anyone else and if they are, I pray that someone will come into their life and show them the truth about the One True God.

Childhood
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 (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....
