Childhood Lyrics

Childhood
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 Ilove 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 ...
