Childhood

你看過我的童年嗎?
我正在尋找屬於我生命中最初的歸處，
我曾四處尋覓，而心中的得失，卻沒人瞭解…
在你評定我之前，請盡量試著愛我…
檢視你的內心，問問自己…
你看過我的童年嗎?  

我反覆看了很多遍Michael的MV，沒想到……會被震憾得，不能自己……。

Childhood這首歌，是Michael Jackson自己做的詞曲，在一九九五年發表。歌詞深切地表達，他想向世人告白他的內心世界，也渴望得到別人的了解與認同。歌詞聽得越明白，眼淚就越掉得多，像是訴說自己的故事，看到內心深處，那個瑟縮在角落裡的小女孩。

她的哭泣聲你聽到嗎？將愛情最後的慈悲與溫柔全都送給你。

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 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?
