I believe Michael Jackson was simply and purely asking for support during his child molestation charges for which he pleaded innocent and was eventually cleared. Period .
Obviously, you could go and take each refrain and explain the beautiful rhymes and caring meanings, but in the end he was crying out for support. In other words, "you've loved me and stuck by me this long, please don't abandon me now when I need you the most."... and more importantly… "Will you love me for the person I am and not the personality?"
( never mind the fact that the music industry was pulling him in every direction and demanding so much of him, he could barely keep up. They treated him like an ATM and not a human being )
- " everyone trying to take control of me… seems that the world has a role for me… "
( I didn't abandon him. I've always loved MJ for the "giving" part of him… The shy man, but explosive performer was also human and bled just like the rest of us. I don't think I could ever find myself "Wigging out" and passing out like people did just upon the sight of him… That's ridiculous. That's idolization. The only person I idolize is God. But, I respected, was thankful for his gift to humanity and I loved him like a brother. ) ;)
Love the person. Hate the sin. ( we all sin… But, we all need to be loved )
