Born into a family of despair Living in a rundown house Built in a dark street Located in a slum town Located in a shallow city In a depressed state In a desperate country Born into a family of wealth Living in a house built of bricks Built on a street laid with gold Located in a town of jade Located in a city of splendour In a state of glory In a country of bountiful The two may or never meet But what happens if their path would cross One shall eat the feast of the banquet One shall eat the crumbs on the floor One shall be the passenger of the ride One shall be the driver One shall speak the queens One shall speak the slums Or lets put it in the hope that The high shall elevate the low The noble shall feed the poor The educated shall teach the uneducated Well let's just hope that Que sera, sera Whatever will be, will be « return. |
