Ayreon - One Small Step Lyrics
"It is the 20th century. I am a little boy peacefully asleep. My father comes to wake meso that I can witness an historic event in the finite story of mankind."[Edward Reekers, Lana Lane]On an early summer morning, July '69As I dream of the planetsI hear a voice softly whisper: 'son, it is timeIt's happening soon'It's a quarter to four now and he carries me downTo our place by the tellyI see lights on in houses all over townFor the man on the MoonOne small step for manBut a giant leap for mankindThe mighty Apollo prevailedThe Eagle has landedI go back to my warm bed, back to my dreamsBut not the one of the planetsI decided this morning I don't want to beThe man on the MoonAs I lie here in this cold tank, living a dreamI'm the last on the planetsI decided this morning I don't want to beThe man on Mars
