In the big and little
Things there's a real
Streak of genius in
Mankind.
We went to the Moon
Nine times and
Every single person
Is still unique in
His or her own way.
We strive all of our lives
To be just like everyone
Else and to be
Special in some special way
That truly defines us.
Think of the people you
Know. Isn't knowing
Them each like building
The Brooklyn Bridge or
Going to the moon?
Big and little
It's just the way
We are.
