The future not our's to see

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

Whatever will be, will be

The future not our's to see

Since I am just a girl in school

I asked my teacher, "What should I try?

Should I paint pictures, should I sing songs?"

This was her wise reply

Whatever will be, will be

The future not our's to see

When I grew up and fell in love

I asked my sweetheart, "What lies ahead?

Will we have rainbows day after day?"

Here's what my sweetheart said

Whatever will be, will be

The future not our's to see
