MICHAEL JACKSON Dancing the Dream

Once We Were There

Once We Were There

Before the beginning, before the violence

Before the anguish of the broken silence

A thousand longings, never uttered

Pangs of sorrow, brutally smothered

But I have chosen to break and be free

Cut those ties, so I can see

Those bonds that imprisoned me in memories of pain

Those judgments, interpretations that cluttered my brain

Those festering wounds that lingered have gone

In their place a new life has dawned

That lonely child, still clutching his toy

Has made his peace, discovered his joy

Where time is not, immortality's clear

Where love abounds, there is no fear

The child has grown to weave his magic

Left behind

His life of sorrow, once so tragic

He is now, ready to share

Ready to love, ready to care

Unfold his heart, with nothing to spare Join him now, if you dare.
