"We laugh, we cry, We live, we die, and when we're gone, the world goes on.

We hear, we touch, we talk too much, of things we have no knowledge of. We see, we feel, yet can't conceal, How small we are, how little we know.

See how the time moves swiftly by, We don't know how, we don't know why.

We reach so high, and fall so low, The more we learn, the less we know.

Too soon the time to go will come, Too late the will to carry on, And so we leave too much undone, How small we are how little we know." (How Small we Are, How Little We Know – Judy's Favorite song).
