Ode to Joy
Suddenly I’m walking on my own path
and hear Beethoven's Ode to Joy
as sunlight breaks through the clouds
My own path that under
all the busyness I just didn't see,
I’d been treading it for a while,
the light had never really been gone
My heart sings out with joy
"Joy, bright spark of the divine" and
"All people become brothers"
Von Schiller, lyricist
of this beautiful song,
understood it well,
now or otherwise later:
it shall be true
