Styx - The Greater Good lyrics

[First Officer:] 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 [Locomotive:] I hear what you’re saying You know that I do But this is so much bigger than anyone imagined – Can’t you see? [First Officer:] 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 [Locomotive:] 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 [First Officer:] 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 [First Officer:] We need you back with us For the greater good [Locomotive:] I believe, I believe For the greater good [First Officer:] ‘Cause you know you’re strong enough For the greater good [Locomotive:] Yeah, everything’s gonna be alright
