I asked Claude to write new lyrics for Ode to Joy, with the theme of progress. The result was wonderful! So I am sharing it here.
Fields of plenty, golden harvestsWhere once famine stalked the landHuman ingenuity triumphsFood for every outstretched hand
Engines, circuits, wheels in motionLabors eased by human mindsWhat once broke the backs of billionsNow by clever tools designed
Ships and railways, planes connectingDistant shores to distant shoresNations trade in peaceful commerceThrough their open, welcoming doors
City lights that shine like beaconsWhere once darkness ruled the nightVoices, faces cross vast oceansBinding hearts through waves of light
Plagues that once decimated nationsNow retreat before our willLives extended, pain diminishedNot by prayer but by our skill
From the shadows of past conflictsDawn of shared prosperityAbundance flows through peaceful bordersAs one human family

New Lyrics for Ode to Joy
I asked Claude to write new lyrics for Ode to Joy, with the theme of progress. The result was wonderful! So I am sharing it here.
Fields of plenty, golden harvests
Where once famine stalked the land
Human ingenuity triumphs
Food for every outstretched hand
Engines, circuits, wheels in motion
Labors eased by human minds
What once broke the backs of billions
Now by clever tools designed
Ships and railways, planes connecting
Distant shores to distant shores
Nations trade in peaceful commerce
Through their open, welcoming doors
City lights that shine like beacons
Where once darkness ruled the night
Voices, faces cross vast oceans
Binding hearts through waves of light
Plagues that once decimated nations
Now retreat before our will
Lives extended, pain diminished
Not by prayer but by our skill
From the shadows of past conflicts
Dawn of shared prosperity
Abundance flows through peaceful borders
As one human family
