| Childhood - 2002 Version |
| Ok, will you all please indulge me? Rebecca (NT, age 7) LOVES Michael Jackson and Gene (ASD, age 10) loves Free Willy, so I was challenged to rewrite the lyrics of "Childhood" for my son to sing when (not if!) he recovers and post it... hope there is some meaning there for you too... Childhood Have you seen my Childhood? I'm searching for the times I should have had 'Cause I'd been lost in a fog Of the opiate drug in my mind... No one understood me They viewed me by my strange eccentricities... 'Cause I kept spinning around Not a child, just a thing ... People said I'm not okay 'Cause I liked & did so many odd things... It's been my fate, years to chelate, during the Childhood I've never known... Have you seen my Childhood? My parents wished only for my health And God gave them that, Then they asked for the vaccines And the doctors gave me that… Along with mercury, aluminum and formaldehyde. What other toxins did I possess In the death of my Childhood? People say I'm strange today 'Cause I don't want more kids this way, It will be our fate to compensate, for the Childhood they'll never know... Have you seen our Childhood? I'm one of thousands of others you know But will they all recover? Not unless they know they can .. and we help Before you judge us, try hard to love us. The painful youth autists have Will you save their Childhood?.... |
