[Verse 1: Selah Sue]
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:

[Chorus: Selah Sue, backing vocals, all]
Que sera, sera
Whatever will be, will be (will be, will be)
The future’s not ours, not ours to see
(yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Que sera, que sera, que sera

[Verse 2: Selah Sue]
When I grew up and fell in love
I asked my lover: “What will i be?
Will I have rainbows day after day?”
Here's what my lover said:

[Chorus: Selah Sue, backing vocals, all]
Que sera, sera (huh)
Whatever will be, will be (will be)
The future's not ours to see
(yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Que sera, que sera, que sera
[Bridge: Selah Sue, backing vocals, all]
(Que sera)
I was holding on to the illusions of my mind
(Que sera)
I will worry about nothing
(Que sera)
But now I know, I have to let go and embrace the moment
(Que sera)
Yeah

Open up your mind and set yourself free (huh)
All you got to do (huh)
Is let it be, oho (huh)

Che sera, Che sera
Che sera, Che sera
Che sera

[Verse 3: Selah Sue]
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:

[Chorus: Selah Sue, backing vocals, all]
Que sera, sera
Whatever will be, will be (will be, will be, huh)
The future’s not ours to see(yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Que sera, que sera, que sera
(Guitar solo)

[Bridge: Selah Sue, backing vocals, all]
(Que sera)
I was holding on to the illusions of my mind
(Que sera)
I will worry about nothing
(Que sera)
But now I know, I have to let go and embrace the moment
(Que sera)
Yeah

Open up your mind and set yourself free (huh)
All you got to do (huh)
Is let it be, oho (huh)

[Outro]
Che sera, Che sera
Che sera, Che sera
