Sound asleep. Waking up slowly.
The centrifugal force was no longer powerful enough to
hurl out the thoughts, which unsuccessfully
went round in circles, without any stimulous, so
my head was denied the silence
needed for sleep.
One foot searching for the floor and then
Step by step by step by step
Before my eyes, the first stage of my journey.
Dust motes dancing in the light
which insistently makes its
way through the small gap in
the middle of the curtain.
You have to get used to walking upright.
Step by step by step towards
the light.
I make it I make it I make it to the window.
For the moment I'm turning my back on the
outside world to focus on the next
step. Far behind my deserted base camp,
which last night still was the home of sleep,
not shared with no one, at
the other end of the plane, there lies
the opening, the entrance or exit, it depends on your
direction.
Majestically it sits unlocked
upon its hinges.
Step by step by step by step
I'm almost accustomed now to putting one foot
in front of the other.
I make it I make it I make it
to the door
Into the open!
I make it I make it I make make make it
I make it I make it I make it out of the city
I make it I make it I make it over the border
I make it I make it I make it make make it
I make it I make it I make it out of the land
I make it I make it I make it out of the continent
I make it I make it I make make make it
Out of all eleven, even the still rolled-up
dimensions
I make it
I'm sound asleep...

I'm sound asleep. Waking up slowly
The body functions
the mechanisms of the consciousness are all
restarting, are all back again, with their usual
ballyhoo; back on the surface, I feel completely
unrefreshed, nearly quashed.
Below me at the usual place:
Step by step by step by step
Since my last glance outside
nearly nothing, nearly nothing has changed. Only:
Dust motes dancing in the light.
The next step is still within reach.
It is possible. It is even humanly
possible.
You have to get used to walking upright.
But this Homo Sapiens or Homo Erectus
will reach his goal. In no time!
I make it I make it I make it to the window.
I'll have a long passage ahead of me.
I get into the pressure suit. I put the helmet on
my head and heavily equipped
I continue on my way. On and on, and on,
and on, and on...
in direction towards
the opening, the entrance or exit, it depends on your
direction.
Nothing can slow me down, except
extraterrestials shooting at me,
or similar unforseeable nonsense.
Step by step by step by step
I make it I make it I make it
to the door
Into the open!
I make it I make it I make make make it
I make it I make it I make it out of the ecliptic
I make it I make it I make it out of the system
I make it I make it I make it make make it
I make it I make it I make it out of the galaxy
I make it I make it out of the local group of galaxies
I make it I make it I make make make it
Out of all eleven, even the still rolled-up
dimensions
I make it
I'm sound asleep...
