Childhood

Now, before I begin again to run over the legal provisions, doctrines and cases to review for my exam on Monday in the 4-unit Property class, let me sidestep a little bit to engross myself over a song I heard over the radio along Recto this lunch.

It is somehow another LSS, but I felt that I do miss what the song speaks, talks or sings about (I don't know the proper adverb for it, hehe). Plus the fact that in the blog entry of a friend, this issue was also brought up. With the intricacies of law school life, and the immense toxicity of what I have to face this Monday until next week, I began to muse myself with thoughts when life was a little bit simplier, when problems were minute, or if there was such a problem to speak of. I began to recall the things I used to do, the places I used to frequent, the persons I have grown fond to be with and the time I used to spend on elementary things.

Yup, I do miss it. I do miss my childhood. The song over the radio was sung my Micheal Jackson. Here are the lyrics, I hope you find it quite relaxing, and think of the most simplest and barest thing you can think of. Hold on to it, and find that it is no longer there. Whew! Sad, but a realization worth musing about. 

Childhood
by Michael Jackson

Have you seen my Childhood?
I'm searching for the world that I come from
'Cause I've been looking around
In the lost and found of my heart...
No one understands me
They view it as such strange eccentricities...
'Cause I keep kidding around
Like a child, but pardon me...

People say I'm not okay
'Cause I love such elementary things...
It's been my fate to compensate,
for the Childhood
I've never known...

Have you seen my Childhood?
I'm searching for that wonder in my youth
Like pirates in adventurous dreams,
Of conquest and kings on the throne...

Before you judge me, try hard to love me,
Look within your heart then ask,
Have you seen my Childhood?

People say I'm strange that way
'Cause I love such elementary things,
It's been my fate to compensate,
for the Childhood I've never known...

Have you seen my Childhood?
I'm searching for that wonder in my youth
Like fantastical stories to share
The dreams I would dare, watch me fly...

Before you judge me, try hard to love me.
The painful youth I've had

Have you seen my Childhood...
