Childhood (Immortal Version) – Michael Jackson (from “Immortal” soundtrack)

Many of our world’s problems today Are a result of the fact that children have had their childhood stolen from them The magic, the wonder, the mystery, and the innocence of a child’s heart Are the seeds of creativity that will heal the world I really believe that
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?
When I create my music, I feel like an instrument of nature I wonder what delight nature must feel when we open our hearts and express our God-given talents What we need to learn from children isn’t childish They know the way to summon things that lie waiting to be recognized within our own hearts
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 The dreams I would dare, watch me fly
Before you judge me, try hard to love me The painful youth I’ve had
