Life As We Know It

After talking to my grandmother today, I had to ask myself if she was reading my mind.  She said she got the song "Que Sera Sera" stuck in her head today.  She said, "You know, that's very true.  Whatever will be, will be."  I was feeling doubtful for a second today, and she got my thoughts on the good road once again.


You know what.  It is true.  I thought I'd post the lyrics to the song here so you could read it.  It's like a poem.  Read it and see if you believe the future is up in the air and we should leave it that way.  I told my grandmother, "You know, I don't think I'd want to really know what will happen in the future for myself.  There are things I'd love to know, but there are many things I wouldn't want to know.  Those things would take a hold of my life and make the good thing anticipation totally be outweighed by the bad thing anticipation."  What do you think?


When I was just a little girl
I asked 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
What will be, will be.

When I was young, I fell in love
I asked my sweetheart what lies ahead
Will we have 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
What will be, will be.

Now I have children of my own
They ask their mother, what will I be
Will I be handsome, will I be rich
I tell them tenderly.

Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.
