Is It Like Today?

Many years ago he looked out through a glass-less window All that he could see was Babylon Beautiful green fields and dreams 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 Then there came a time It moved out 'cross the Mediterranean Came to western isles and the Greek young men With their silver beards they laughed At the unknown of the universe They could sit and guess God's name But they said "How could it come to this?" "I'm really worried about living" "How could it come to this?" Yeah, we really want to know about this Then there came a time of Kings, Empires and revolutions Blood just looks the same when you open the vein Sometimes it was faith, power or reason as the cornerstone But the furrowed brow has never left his face 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 How could it come to this? We were living in a landslide How could it come to this? Yeah, I really want to know about this Then there came a time, man packed up Moved off from the planet He went to the moon To the moon Now he's out in space Hey, fixing all the problems He comes face to face with God He says "How could it come to this?" "I'm really worried 'bout my creation" "How could it come to this?" Yeah, I really want to know about this Is it like today? Is it like today? Hey, hey Is it like today? Is it like today?
