Part 1--The Magical Child
By
Michael Jackson
Once there was a child and he was free,
Deep Inside, he felt the laughter,
The mirth and play of nature's glee,
He was not troubled by thoughts of hereafter,
Beauty, love was all he'd see
He knew his power was the power of God,
He was so sure, they considered him odd,
This power of innocence, of compassion, of light,
Threatened the priests and created a fright,
In endless ways they sought to dismantle,
This mysterious force which they could not handle
In endless ways they tried to destroy
His simple trust, his boundless joy,
His invincible armor was a shield of bliss,
Nothing could touch it, no venom, no his,
The child remained in a state of grace,
He was confined in time or place,
In Technicolor dreams, he frolicked and played,
While acting his part, in Eternity he stayed,
Soothsayers came and fortunes were told,
Some were vehement, others were bold,
In denouncing this child, this perplexing creature,
With the rest of the world he shared no feature,
Is he real? He is so strange,
His unpredictable nature knows no range,
He puzzles us so, is he straight?
What's his destiny, What's his fate?,
And while they whispered and conspired,
Through endless rumors to get him tired,
To kill his wonder, trample him near,
Burn his courage, fuel his fear,
The child remained just simple, sincere,
All he wanted was the mountain high,
Color the clouds, paint the sky,
Beyond these boundaries, he wanted to fly,
In nature's scheme, never to die,
Don't stop this child, he's the father of man,
Don't cross his way, he's part of the plan,
I am that Child, but so are you,
You've just forgotten, just lost in the clue,
Inside your heart sits a Seer,
Between his thoughts, he can hear,
A melody simple but wondrously clear,
The music of life, so precious, so dear,
If you could for one moment know,
The spark of creation, this exquisite glow,
You could come and dance with me,
Kindle this fire so we could see,
All the children of the Earth,
Weave their magic and give new birth,
To a world of freedom with no pain,
A world of joy, much more sane,
Deep inside, you know it's true,
Just find the that child, it's hiding in you.

Part 2--The Magical Child
By
Michael Jackson
Magical child once felt a twinge,
A faint recollection, a memory unhinged,
In the colors, the forms, the hue,
There seemed a mystery with a sublte clue,
Behind the wind, the storm, the gale,
Within the shroud, beyond the veil,
Hidden from view in a wondrous pattern,
There seemed a force that he could not fathom,
Its music and cadence were playful and sweet,
He danced in bliss to its throbbing beat,
He did not mind either cold or heat,
On the mountain high was his royal seat,
Strangers came and scorned his joy,
With ridicule and banter they tried to destroy,
What in their minds was a skillful play,
With cruel darts they tried to plunder,
To suffocate and strangle his innocent wonder,
Fighting hard, despite their blunder,
Again and again to steal his thunder,
Despite their attacks, they could not break,
With all their barbs, they could not take,
God's gift of love, which they could not fake,
Not knowing his strength or what he sought to seek,
They complained aloud and called him a freak,
But the mysterious force just kept its hold,
Magical child grew brave and bold,
Diving deep into his soul,
In exquisite ecstasy he discovered his role,
In his Self was infinite scope,
This mysterious force was mankind's hope,
Piercing through that mask of Being,
In that silence beyond all seeing,
Was a field of power, of awesome glory,
With other children, if unfurled,
Its tidal wave wouuld change the world,
Magical child was ready to bow,
Sow the seed, pick up the plough,
With effortless ease, without a sigh,
Without a tear, without a cry,
With silent perfection,
Under God's direction,
To sing together as one race,
Stem the tide, transform this place,
Magical children, don't worry how,
Don't delay, this moment's now.
