Under Glass

a smooth 
and easy path
     lay before us
or so it 
seemed 
at 
first
     later on 
as we reflected on 
    our 
        prospects 
it turned out 
    that 
    the road 
was lined with 
    thorns
and every new 
    step 
was hard 
    in the end we'll certainly 
reach our goal
    at every fork 
in 
the
road 
       we'll find 
the 
    right way 
for every thorn 
  bush 
         we'll find 
a clear path
    don't let 
the 
   dark angels 
fool you 
    peace is around 
the corner 
     the golden road 
is within reach 
    eyes that have 
seen sorrow 
     will see the 
light when the 
   morning comes
