A Space Boy Dream
I dreamt I had to go to Mars
I'm always kidding on about going to Mars for the day
But faced with the reality of it, in a dream, I was terrified
And it wasn't going to be like a moon trip
There was three of us going, but we couldn't all go on the same ship
We had to go one at a time, with a day between us
I had to go first
And it was the thought of passing through all that black space
All the darkness with nothing in it
And then being the first one to land there, all alone
I knew it was supposed to be all dark around
With just a red surface
But what if I got there and it was light
All civilised and populated and stuff?
So I made a plan
The other astronauts were going to be my dad and my sister
And my dad would come first after me
So I decided when I landed I would
just stay in my seat until he got there
And then we could get out together
And have a look around and see what sort of things were there
And when I woke up and I was lying in the darkness
I thought I had landed
And I just lay still for a while
Waiting for my dad to get there too
I'm always kidding on about going to Mars for the day
But faced with the reality of it, in a dream, I was terrified
And it wasn't going to be like a moon trip
There was three of us going, but we couldn't all go on the same ship
We had to go one at a time, with a day between us
I had to go first
And it was the thought of passing through all that black space
All the darkness with nothing in it
And then being the first one to land there, all alone
I knew it was supposed to be all dark around
With just a red surface
But what if I got there and it was light
All civilised and populated and stuff?
So I made a plan
The other astronauts were going to be my dad and my sister
And my dad would come first after me
So I decided when I landed I would
just stay in my seat until he got there
And then we could get out together
And have a look around and see what sort of things were there
And when I woke up and I was lying in the darkness
I thought I had landed
And I just lay still for a while
Waiting for my dad to get there too
