We've been carried away with very hard problems recently. Let's have a simple reality check with this classic. But, please try solving this without any words :)

Don't belittle yourself.
Look at the sun,so far away,
Look at the sun,so far away,
how unreachable.
Yet, no matter how little it is,
each raindrop carries the sun.

Where you stand defines who you are,
and emits traces of you to the sky.
Look at the brilliant stars in the night.
No! They aint no stars shining!
It is your eyes that declare the meaning of light.
Without your vision, all stars are dark.
There are things you ain't gonna erase...
Don't matter... even if you try hard...
Things that connect you to the farthest ends of the universe
Things that make you who you are.
A universe with a beating heart!

Fox 208
This is a classic. You can find similar versions in several books.
Again should be solvable with no math, maybe with a little art - I guess.
