"Ben" If you understand what it's like to be truely alone as a child growing up and constantly feeling rejected you can relate to this song. Many people like Michael did not have a childhood, this is a very damaging experience. If you put yourself in Ben's place he was always running from fear (like the child at school who is quiet, lonely and rejected). Always running hear and there feeling rejected by society, you never get to know anyone and sadly they never get to know you! Knowing inside your soul that you are a good person, the best friend anyone could ever find. If you've known a person like this or are that person, you find yourself constantly running to seek acceptance. The people who are fortunate to know you find that you are the very best friend they might ever know. As you grow up and become an adult the scars of rejetion and loneliness stay with you. When you do find a friend like Ben they never forget you because you have a love and kindness that is exceptional but hidden from the world. This type of love and kindness also leaves you vulnerable to those in the world who don't understand this. For me personally if you put yourself in place of Ben you are a beautiful creation that God has made and protected. God protects you fiercely and as you look back you see this and realize that God is your best friend and savior. God will always love you and protect you, he only allows certain people to know you for his purpose and you know you always have a place to go where you are never alone and loved unconditionally through Jesus Christ. If you find a person like this, they are worth more than gold and a gift from the most high God the Father maker of both heavan and earth and all that is beautiful and the very source from which love comes from.
