Who You're Gonna Be
Discovering Destiny: Who You'll Become Through Generations
Lyrics
Seemed like a year but it had been a couple days
Perception of time felt longer than actual due to significant impact or change within a short duration
You came walking out, a smile lit up your face
Initial encounter displaying happiness or joy
And in those 2 minutes our whole lives had changed
Swift alteration or transformation in life after a brief interaction
Now I'm sittin' wondering how it's gonna be
Contemplation about the future and the uncertainty of it
Will you be like her or a little more like me
Speculation about the traits or qualities you might inherit
I gotta know who your gonna be
Desire to know the future identity or characteristics
Will you be like your great grandpa working warehouse in the mine
Comparison to ancestors, contemplating potential occupations
Or maybe like both your grandmas, where you always find the time
Reflecting on the time management skills passed down
Maybe like your mama, with overwhelming grace
Pondering inheriting traits related to grace from a parent
I can't wait to meet
Anticipation of meeting the future identity
Who you're gonna be
Excitement to discover the forthcoming identity
It's been a couple months now, and times just flyin' by
Perception of time passing swiftly since the earlier reference
I'm gonna love to see you laugh and hate to see you cry
Anticipation of experiencing different emotions of joy and sorrow in the future
I just keep on wonderin', are you more like her, or are you more like me
Continued speculation about inherited traits from different individuals
And then I find those words will you be
Reflection on the uncertainty of future resemblances
Just like your grandpa
Comparison to a calm and composed individual
He's always calm and cool
Contemplation of personal stubbornness
Or maybe just like me, stubborn as a mule
Wondering about inheriting specific physical attributes
Will you have your mama's smile
Anticipation of certain eye color inherited
Will you have blue eyes
Anticipation and eagerness to meet the future identity
I can't wait to meet
Reiteration of excitement to witness the forthcoming identity
I can't wait to see
Repetition emphasizing the eagerness to discover the future self
Who you're gonna be
Doubt about recognizing the future identity
Who you're gonna be
Reiteration emphasizing the uncertainty of the future self
Who ya gonna be
Reiteration emphasizing the uncertainty and curiosity
How we gonna know
Expressing uncertainty about recognizing the future self
Whatcha gonna like
Curiosity about future preferences
Where you gonna go
Curiosity about future paths or choices
Yeah if you can hear me
Expressing a hope that the future self is aware of the current feelings
I'll be happy either way
Contentment regardless of the future identity
Just waitin' for the day
Anticipation for the future moment of discovery
Will you be like your great grandpa working warehouse in the mine
Reiteration of potential occupational comparisons
Will you be loud, will you be shy
Uncertainty about future personality traits
I can't begin to tell you how much you mean to me
Expressing the depth of emotions felt towards the future self
And I can't wait to meet
Anticipation and excitement to meet the future identity
And I can't wait to see
Reiteration of the eagerness to witness the future self
Who you're gonna be
Repeated anticipation and curiosity regarding the future self
Who you're gonna be
Reiteration emphasizing the curiosity about the future identity
Who you're gonna be
Reiteration emphasizing the anticipation of the future self
Who you're gonna be
Reiteration emphasizing the anticipation of discovering the future identity
