My parents always told me that life is about asking questions which I didn't understand that until more recently.

And that's how we celebrate our individuality. Now you would think that individuality would separate us but on the contrary the truth is we all answer pretty much the same basic questions for ourselves, they're not complicated questions you know. They're very simple, basic universal questions and that's why I wrote this song — Miguel

Never say no to coffee — Cesar
