Is It Like Today lyrics

Many years ago he looked out through a glassless window
All that he could see was Babylon
Beautiful green fields and dreams and he learned to measure the stars
But there was a worry in his heart

He said `how could it come to this ?
I`m really worried about living
How could it come to this ?
Yeah, I really want to know about this`

Is it like today ? Oh, ooh

Then there came a day it moved out `cross the Mediteranean
Came to Western isles of Greek young men
With their silver beards they laughed at the unknown of the universe
They could just sit and guess God`s name

He said `how could it come to this ?
We`ve been living in a landslide
How could it come to this?
Yeah, I really wanna know about this` Is it like today ? Oh, ooh

Then there came a day man backpacked and flew off of the planet
He went to the moon (to the moon)
Now he`s off in space, fixing all of the problems
He comes face to face with God

He said `how could it come to this ?
I`m really worried about my creation
How could it come to this ?
You`re really killing me you know`

Is it like today ? Oh, ooh
Is it like today? Oh, ooh

Many years ago man looked out through a glassless window
Didn`t know much, not much, but he saw
