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
