what will be

What lies ahead

What will be refers to future events or outcomes, especially those considered inevitable or beyond one's control.

The phrase often carries a fatalistic acceptance: What will be will be.

It appears in questions about the future What will be the outcome? and in philosophical discussions about fate versus free will.

The Italian equivalent che sarà sarà became a popular song lyric.
