Is It Like Today

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 ?

Is it like today ? Oh, ooh

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
