Ayreon - One Small Step (Universal Migrator Part 1&2) 2000

One Small Step from Ayreon's Universal Migrator Part 1&2 which was released in 2000.

LYRICS:

"It is the 20th century. I am a little boy peacefully asleep. My father comes to wake me
so that I can witness an historic event in the finite story of mankind."

[Edward Reekers, Lana Lane]

On an early summer morning, July '69
As I dream of the planets
I hear a voice softly whisper: 'son, it is time
It's happening soon'

It's a quarter to four now and he carries me down
To our place by the telly
I see lights on in houses all over town
For the man on the Moon

One small step for man
But a giant leap for mankind
The mighty Apollo prevailed
The Eagle has landed

I go back to my warm bed, back to my dreams
But not the one of the planets
I decided this morning I don't want to be
The man on the Moon

As I lie here in this cold tank, living a dream
I'm the last on the planets
I decided this morning I don't want to be
The man on Mars

This song takes me to 1969. I feel the emotion, curiosity and awe of watching that moon landing. I was born in 1994...

[todd]

Today, let us listen to this masterpiece and relive the beauty of 1969

[headfullofdreams]

I remember back when I was about 6 years old, and my brothers and I walked to school, singing this. My parents did one thing right... :D

[MasterVertex]

As a dutch 3d animator I really hope my studio ends up doing a music video project for this man some day.

[alma]

When there is darkness in the world I always find myself coming back to this haven. A masterpiece ahead of its age. Thanks man!

[CSdaliger]

Mega Mega Mega es wird einem NIE langweilig

Portuguese Lyrics ;-)

Um Pequeno Passo

"É o século 20. Eu sou um garotinho que está dormindo pacificamente. Meu pai vem me acordar para que eu possa testemunhar um evento histórico na história finita da humanidade ".

[Edward Reekers, Lana Lane]

Numa manhã de início de verão, julho de 1969
Enquanto eu sonho com os planetas
Eu ouço uma voz sussurrar baixinho: 'filho, é hora
Vai acontecer em breve

São quinze para as quatro agora e ele me carrega para baixo
Para o nosso lugar perto da televisão
Eu vejo luzes acesas em casas por toda a cidade
Para o homem na lua

Um pequeno passo para o homem
Mas um salto gigantesco para a humanidade
O poderoso Apolo prevaleceu
A Águia pousou

Eu volto para a minha calorosa cama, de volta para meus sonhos
Mas não aquele dos planetas
Eu decidi esta manhã que não quero ser
O homem na lua

À medida que eu deito aqui neste tanque frio, vivendo um sonho
Eu sou o último no planeta
Eu decidi esta manhã que não quero ser
O homem em Marte

[thehumanmachine]

its a shame we dont have a holiday that celebrates the first man of the moon

[simonadams]

One of Arjen's finest songs in my opinion, I dream about a Universal Migrator show

One of Arjen's finest songs in my opinion, I dream about a Universal Migrator show

[ZiggyMandarr]

Might be my favorite from this album. Always love when Reekers contributes.

[Osi-okqs]

The one perfect Song....
This one perfect Song...
To fly and land on the Moon.
Unbelievable good.
Simply amazing.
Love this Song.

APP (Ayreon Polonisation Project):, ,Kosmiczny Migrator - Część I: Sekwencer Snów''

4., ,Jeden Mały Krok''

_Wiek XX. Jestem śpiącym spokojnie, małym chłopcem._
_Mój ojciec budzi mnie, bym mógł doświadczyć historycznego momentu, w skończonej opowieści o ludzkości._

Wczesnym, letnim rankiem, Lipca '69
Gdy śnię o planetach
Słyszę delikatny szept:, ,Synu, już czas
To niedługo się wydarzy''

Kwadrans do piątej, gdy on znosi mnie na dół
Do naszego miejsca, przy telewizorze
Widzę światła w domach, w całym mieście
Dla człowieka na Księżycu

Jeden mały krok dla człowieka
Ale wielki krok dla ludzkości
Potężny Apollo zwyciężył
Orzeł wylądował

Wracam do mojego ciepłego łóżka, z powrotem do moich snów
Lecz nie tego o planetach
Tego ranka zdecydowałem, że nie chcę być
Człowiekiem na Księżycu

Jeden mały krok dla człowieka
Ale wielki krok dla ludzkości
Potężny Apollo zwyciężył
Orzeł wylądował

Gdy leżę w tym zimnym zbiorniku, żyjąc snem
Jestem ostatni pośród planet
Tego ranka zdecydowałem, że nie chcę być
Człowiekiem na Marsie

{
Jeden mały krok dla człowieka
Ale wielki krok dla ludzkości
Potężny Apollo zwyciężył
