Les paroles de la chanson
« Is it like today »
Sheryl Crow

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
