Is It Like Today? Video (MV)

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?
