Lyrics The Greater Good - Styx

The Greater Good

You could lay down, in this hole you dug
Just fade away into the red sand
But we all know, it’s not who you are
You’ve come too far to be stranded on this star
But we’re not here to take a prize
You know, just open up your eyes
The things that got us here have little weight
Perhaps a chance to be a man
You dream to be, you know you can
Come on, suit up and we won’t let you fail
For the greater good
For the greater good
For the greater good
For the greater good
I hear what you’re saying
You know that I do
But this is so much bigger than anyone imagined —
Can’t you see?
But you are not here on your own
We’ve got your back, we’ll make it home
We’re wide awake, there’s so much to be done
If you believe then I will too
And if the pieces come unglued
They’ll know we gave it everything we had
For the greater good
For the greater good
For the greater good
For the greater good
One day this place may be our grave
But if we die, by the gods, we’ll be saved
(We will be saved, we will be saved)
We’ll be saved
(We will be saved, we will be saved)
For the greater good
We need you back with us
For the greater good
I believe, I believe
For the greater good
'Cause you know you’re strong enough
For the greater good
Yeah, everything’s gonna be alright
