If I sail to Acapulco or Cancun Mexico

and only God knew I was innocent now.

I can't even begin to imagine how alone he felt during the trial.
Putting pen to paper was his way of dealing with his emotions.
'and God knows that I'm innocent'
sophloz, do you have the rest of the song?
Your second link doesn't work.
No that was the only thing available. I would love to see the rest of the lyrics. I cant imagine what MJ was going through. It broke my heart seeing them. The second link doesn't work as its been sold at auction now so removed from the site Sorry about that.
