The Berlin wall fell, as it did not stand
on solid ground
it was built on a system
not meant for minds unbound.

Today, the trees of the Berlin boulevards
sing a timeless song:
"Ode an dieFreude"
it was written for all and everyone.

------------------------

"Ode an die Freude" is a poem written
by Friedrich Schiller in 1785. In 1824,
Ludwig van Beetoven used a part of the
lyrics in the last movement of his ninth
symphony. Today, that part of the
symphony is the Anthem of the European Union.

"Ode an die Freude": sång till glädjen.
