Sunsets and Slow Moving Days (Que Sera Sera) - Demo
I guess it’s been a quarter century
Since I came out wailing no one knew my name
I thought by now I might have had it figured out
But the most that I’ve deciphered is it’s all a game
I tried my to best to understand reality
But the more I see the more I think I’m bound to fail
Then moments come when all my thinking fades away
And the parts of life that matter slowly show their face
Like sunsets and slow moving days
Like water our worries just slide away
And someday they freeze into snowflakes
As we turn back to children and we fade away
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
I guess that life has always been a mystery
And we all just play pretend that we know what it means
We get outraged when somebody sees it differently
When people born in other places disagree
It’s almost like we hardly share reality
As if someone put us all in boxes made for each
And all the while we miss our shared humanity
The ground of our existence, all that sets us free
Like sunsets and slow moving days
Like water our worries evaporate
And somehow they freeze into snowflakes
As we turn back to children and we learn to play
When I have children of my own
They’ll ask their mother, what lies ahead
Will we have rainbows, day after day
I’ll 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
Que sera, sera
