CHILDHOOD (Theme from "Free Willy 2")
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?
(music)
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.
(Written and Composed by Michael Jackson.)
(Produced by Michael Jackson, 1995.)
Michael Jackson天才童年开始巨星人生之旅——1958年8月29日,Michael Jackson出生于美国印第安纳州(Indiana)盖瑞市(Gary)。因为小小的迈克尔在他五岁便显露其在歌唱及舞蹈方面才华,所以在父母便把他们兄弟们Jackie, Tito, Jermaine及Marlon共同组成了The Jackson 5 (杰克森五兄弟)乐团,因为小杰克逊在音乐上的进步越来越大,所以渐渐的成长为整个乐队的主力,

Michael Jackson的吉尼斯慈善记录——他一个人支持了世界上39个慈善救助基金会,保持着2006年的吉尼斯世界个人慈善纪录,是全世界以个人名义捐助慈善事业最多的人,相比来说杰克逊还是非常的有责任感的人,虽然他反过错误,但是功过低过。

another day has gone
i’m still all alone
how could this be
you’re not here with me
you never said goodbye
someone tell me why
did you have to go
and leave my world so cold
everyday i sit and ask myself
how did love slip away
something whispers in my ear and says
that you are not alone
for i am here with you
though you’re far away
i am here to stay
but you are not alone
for i am here with you
though we’re far apart
you’re always in my heart
but you are not alone
ben, the two of us need look no more
we both found what we were looking for
with a friend to call my own
i'll never be alone
and you, my friend will see
you've got a friend in me
(you've got a friend in me)
ben, you're always running here and there
(here and there)
you feel you're not wanted anywhere
(anywhere)
if you ever look behind
and don't like what you find
there's something you should know
you've got a place to go
(you've got a place to go)
i used to say "i" and "me"
now it's "us", now it's "we"
(i used to say "i" and "me"
now it's "us", now it's "we")
ben, most people would turn you away
(turn you away)
i don't listen to a word they say
(a word they say)
they don't see you as i do
i wish they would try to
i'm sure they'd think again
if they had a friend like ben
(a friend)
like ben
(like ben)
like ben
