Akon, Michael Jackson: So if you just hold my hand / Baby I promise that I'll do all I can / Things will get better if you just hold my hand / Nothing can come between us if you just hold, hold my, hold, hold my, hooold, hold my hand...
Jurors in the Michael Jackson child molestation trial Tuesday watched the TV documentary that sparked the case, seeing the pop star hold hands with his accuser and talk about hosting sleepovers with children at his Neverland Ranch.

"He's really a child at heart," the boy tells an interviewer in the documentary "Living With Michael Jackson." Jurors viewed the tape after defense attorney Thomas Mesereau Jr. gave an opening statement that sought to counter allegations that Jackson showed the boy sexually explicit materials and later fondled him at Neverland. In his remarks, Mesereau suggested the entertainer may testify. "Michael will tell you one time he got a very bad feeling at Neverland," he said, describing an incident when the boy's mother suddenly told her children to kneel and pray with "our daddy, Michael Jackson." At another point Mesereau said, "Mr. Jackson will freely admit that he does read girlie magazines from time to time. He absolutely does not show them to children." Mesereau's suggestion that Jackson may testify was intentional, Jackson spokeswoman Raymone K. Bain said, adding: "They have not made a decision yet." Jackson, who would be exposed to cross-examination if he takes the stand, is not on the defense witness list. Jurors watched the documentary after prosecutors called its maker, British journalist Martin Bashir, to the stand. Jackson dabbed his eyes with a tissue during a segment in which he says children are his reason for living. The program, taped in 2002 and aired in 2003, led to the investigation that ultimately resulted in charges that Jackson molested the then-13-year-old cancer survivor and conspired to hold the boy's family captive. As the program was played, some jurors leaned forward in their seats, a few smiled or laughed when Jackson said humorous things, and a few bobbed their heads along with Jackson's music. Some smiled when the video showed Jackson singing "smile while your heart is breaking" as he left a hotel. Although the documentary is best known for Jackson's comments about allowing children to sleep in his bed, it also exposed jurors to a sympathetic portrayal of Jackson. The singer is seen racing go-carts and climbing trees, as well as teaching Bashir how to "moonwalk." At one point Jackson emotionally describes abuse that he claims he and his brothers received from their father, Joe Jackson, during their days in the Jackson 5. "I remember hearing my mother scream, 'Joe, you're going to kill him,'" Jackson says at one point. The documentary also referred to Jackson's relationships with adult women, and briefly showed the 2002 incident in which he dangled one of his children from a hotel balcony in Germany. At one point, Jackson appears with the boy who is now accusing him, and the boy's brother and sister. The children do a dance routine in Jackson's kitchen. Later the boy holds hands with Jackson and says the pop star is perpetually childlike and understands children. "You're an adult when you want to be one," the boy says. When the boy says that Jackson once told him and his brother, "If you love me you'll sleep in the bed," Jackson tells the interviewer that the children slept in his bed and he slept on the floor in a sleeping bag. Holding the boy's hand tightly, Jackson says, "My greatest inspiration comes from kids. It's all inspired by that level of purity. I see God in the face of children." After the viewing, Mesereau sought to have Bashir's testimony and the documentary stricken when Bashir refused to say how many hours of videotape were recorded during the making of the program. Bashir's attorney, Theodore Boutrous Jr., repeatedly invoked California's shield law for reporters, saying that as a journalist Bashir did not have to answer questions about unpublished materials. Judge Rodney S. Melville refused to strike the video or the testimony. Jackson appeared agitated when Bashir was on the stand, at one point putting out his arms as if to tell him to speak up. Bashir was testifying in a near-whisper. As Jackson left court, reporters asked him how he was feeling. He said "good," then added "angry." He thanked reporters and walked away. In his opening statement, Mesereau accused the prosecution of changing the dates of the alleged molestation because they were in conflict with an interview between child welfare workers and the family. Mesereau also said the mother was using the criminal charges to build a civil case in order to get a payoff, and he addressed allegations that Jackson gave alcohol to his accuser and the brother. Mesereau said the children were sometimes "out of control" at Neverland and read Jackson's magazines and broke into his alcohol without his permission. Jackson would face prison if convicted of all charges, although the term is uncertain because of many sentencing variables. Former San Francisco prosecutor Jim Hammer, now a legal analyst, said the term could be more than 20 years.
I can tell that you're tired of being lonely (yeah)
Take my hand, don't let go, baby hold me (hold my hand)
Come to me and let me be your one and only (hold my hand)
'Cause I can make it all right 'til the morning (hold my hand)
I can tell that you're tired of being lonely (hold my hand)
Take my hand, don't let go, baby hold me (ooh, hold me)
Come to me and let me be your one and only (one and only)
'Cause I can make it all right 'til the morning (hold my hand)
"Hold My Hand" by Michael Jackson (ft. Akon) is a song about the importance of companionship and support through tough times. The lyrics talk about how life is short and uncertain, and it's better to face challenges together than alone. Michael Jackson and Akon sing about how they have both experienced tough times in their lives before, but they feel hopeful and empowered when they hold someone's hand. The chorus repeats the message that nothing can come between them if they hold each other's hand.
The verses talk about feeling lost, lonely, and tired of struggling on their own. The lyrics suggest that sometimes life can be overwhelming, and it's hard to find peace and love, but they believe that with someone's hand to hold, things will go better. In the bridge, Akon sings about how he can be someone's one and only and how he can make things better until morning.
The song's overall message is that no matter what challenges life throws our way, we should always try to find someone to hold our hand and support us. It's a reminder that we don't have to go through tough times alone, and with the support of friends and loved ones, we can face anything.
