Lyrics

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...
