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 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....

Black or White

Woh...woh...

I took my baby on a saturday there

What is that girl with you

Yes we`re one and the same

Now I believein miracles

Ang it made me only steo in tonight



But if you`re thinking about my baby

It don`t matter if you`re black or white



They bring my message in the saturday sun

I had to tell them Iain`t second to none

And I told about equality And it`s true

Either you`re wrong or you`re right



But if you`re thinking about my baby

It don`t matter if you`re black or white



I`ve tried it girl, I`ve tried it girl

I`ve tried it baby, so when the going gets rough

I`m there you know, I`m there you see

I`m there but nobody

So when the going gets mean

Protection for gangs clubs and nations

Causing grief in human relations

It`s a turf war on a global scale

I`d rather hear both sides of the tale

See it`s not about races, just places, faces

Where your blood comes from

It where your space is

I`ve seen the bright gets duller

I`m not going to spend my life, being a colour

Till you agree with me

When I saw you kicking dirt in my eyes



But if you`re thinking about my baby

It don`t matter if you`re black or white



But if you`re thinking about my baby

It don`t matter if you`re black or white



I said if you`re thinking of being my brother

It don`t matter if you`re black or white

Alright...alright...alright

Yeah..yeah..yeah

It` black, it`s white,it`s justa little bit..fade

Yeah..yeah..yeah

It` black, it`s white,it`s justa little bit..fade...
