Song Lyrics

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'll 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
