I wrote this song for an album about getting over love sickness.
A long while after breaking up, I was down and out, and a good friend gave me this advice: choose your path, choose for yourself. Don't get stuck in the no-man's-land, where you don't make choices. Think about what's important for YOU, and go for it.
A year later, that friend was down and out himself, I recalled his words, wrote them down, created a melody, and recorded it with my band. This friend was the first one to hear it.

take the step
allow yourself to put this to an end
choose a path
it’ll be your way
out of no-man’s-land

over there I’ve wandered too
too long I’ve wandered through
until a wise man saved me
and now I’m here for you

take the step
‘cause a man ain’t free
said Immanuel Kant
whose thoughts are ruled by someone else
stuck in no-man’s-land

over there I’ve wandered too
too long I’ve wandered through
until a wise man saved me
and now I’m here for you

take the step
this damned estate was made by your own hand
with the ghosts withholding you locked in no-man’s-land

over there I’ve wandered too
too long I’ve wandered through
until a wise man saved me
and now I’m here for you
till you yourself saved me
and now I’m here for you

let your longing guide you
which you have so long denied
longing for an unknown land
I’ll wait here by the light
come and sit beside a friend
and all will be all right
