Is it Like Today by Eliza Gilkyson

--------------------------------

Many years ago he looked out
Through a glassless 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 across the Mediterranean
Came to western isles and the Greek young men
And with their silver beards
They laughed at the unknown of the universe
They could just sit and guess God's name.

They said 'How could it come to this?'
I'm really worried about living...

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 says 'How could it come to this?'
I'm really living in a landslide...

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, fixing all the problems.
He comes face to face with God.

He says 'How could it come to this?'
I'm really worried about my creation
How could it come to this?
Yeah, I really want to know about this.
Is it like today?
Is it like today...?
