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
