Que Sera, Sera. (Whatever will be, will be.)

When I was just a little girl
I ask my Mother what will I be.
Will I be pretty?
Will I be rich?
Here's what she said to me:

Que sera, sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que sera, sera

When I was just a child in school
I ask my Teacher what should I try
Should I paint pictures?
Should I sing songs?
This was her wise reply:

Que sera, sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see

Que sera, sera

When I grew up and fell in love
I ask my sweetheart what lies ahead
Will there be rainbows?
Day after day?
Here's what my sweetheart said:

Que sera, sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que sera, sera

To those, like me, who are uncertain about the present and anxious for the future.
May you find peace and wisdom, fear and grace, trust and patience.
Whatever will be, will be.

*btw, i like the Pink Martini version of the song. try it, try it now!
