Spacewalk

Months of preparations are over
now I’m finally here
Standing in the airlock waiting
the signal says clear
Jumping through the open door
a sight I’ve never seen before
Space is everywhere
and the Earth is there
Pressing the yellow magic key
releases the wires and sets me free
Spacewalking, spacewalking
There is no up and there is no down when I’m spacewalking
Flying high in the sky
I’m floating in a vacuum
away from the Enterprise
Can’t say that I’m a believer
but this is paradise
Suddenly a feeling of presence somewhere
I turn around and see a face: “an alien, I swear!”
No suit, gray skin, big black eyes
looking at me, I’m paralyzed
Then it’s gone
I’m all alone
Spacewalking, spacewalking
There is no up and there is no down when I’m spacewalking
