It was half past ten in the evening and I was doing some work in the office. While working, I played some of the greatest hits of MJ as my background music. These files were stored in a centralized multimedia drive provided for the staff. Then one particular song played, in which I am not familiar with. Actually it was the first time I’ve heard the song. So, when I looked at the info I’ve learned that the tittle of the song is ‘Childhood’, and in more info provided, it was the theme from the movie “Free Willy’. The movie was about the friendship between a 12 year old boy and an orca whale. But if you listen to the lyrics of the song, it seems MJ was talking about his own childhood. Can’t help it but, I’ve listen to the song intently and stop working for a while, but, even before the song ended I was already teary eyed. MJ even sounded that he was crying by the end of the song. It’s a very very sad song…..

Childhood
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 and 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….
