As the story unfolds the audience sees that some of the children suffer from varying disabilities. The eye of every child, however, is identical, brimming with hope and innocence for the future. Their parents look on, some proudly, others worriedly, but all urging them to do their best. With every passing disability, the chorus now takes on a very different meaning for the audience, 'Que Sera, Sera, whatever will be, will be, the future's not ours to see.'
