Song Description

Thoughts about working together towards a better tomorrow.

Lyrics

FLOWERS WILTING ALL ABOUT
EVERYBODY'S HEART IS FILLED WITH DOUBT
SURVIVAL MEANS ALL
NO ONE CAN STAND TALL
WHILE WE'RE WORKING TO SEE JUST HOW HARD WE CAN FALL

WE'VE BEEN MOVING LIKE GAME ON THE OPEN RANGE
SOME ARE HUNTING AT EACH OTHER - NO THEY'RE NOT TAKING AIM
IT'S A FIGHT FOR CONTROL
WE SHOULD BE FIGHTING FOR THE ANSWERS DEEP WITHIN OUR SOULS

MILITARY CONCEIT TALKIN' UP WAR
WHAT WE FACE IS DEFEAT WHILE WE'RE SETTLING SCORES
IT'S UP TO YOU AND ME FOR SURE
DON'T YOU THINK WE OUGHT TO DO SOMETHING MORE
FOR THE GREATER GOOD

[GREATER GOOD]

YESTERDAY'S FACTS CAN'T BE TAKEN BACK
THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS IS TO MAKE THE FUTURE HAPPEN
WE'VE GOT TO CLOSE UP THE GAPS
AND FILL IN THE CRACKS
SO WE COULD ALL BE BETTER UNDERSTOOD
FOR THE GREATER GOOD

[GREATER GOOD]

WE'VE SEEN CITIES AND TOWNS BURNIN' DOWN
PEOPLE FIGHTING FOR GOD
YOU KNOW HE CAN'T BE PROUD
TO SEE US ACTING SO ODD
TAKIN' HIS WORD IN VAIN
LIVING IN PAIN
WHEREVER HE IS HE MUST THINK WE'RE INSANE

LOOK AT WHAT WE'VE BEEN GIVEN
SEE WHERE WE'VE GONE
NO ONE'S GONNA GET TO HEAVEN
IF WE CAN'T GET ON
WE COULD DO IT ALL TOGETHER
IF WE JUST DO WHAT WE SHOULD
SO WE CAN MAKE IT WORK FOREVER
FOR THE GREATER GOOD

NO EFFORT CAN BE WASTED WHEN IT COMES TO HUMAN NEED
IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT - WHAT WE NEED'S A REPRIEVE
'CAUSE TOO OFTEN WE'VE BEEN GUILTY OF HUMAN GREED
WHEN YOU KNOW WE SHOULD BE PLANTING A SEED

FOR THE GREATER GOOD
PEOPLE CARRYING SCARS FEEL THE UNDERLYING PAIN
BUILDING NUCLEAR BOMBS FROM ARIZONA TO THE UKRAINE
IT'S EASIER TO FIGHT THAN TO WORK THROUGH THE STRAIN
BUT IMAGINE IF SOMEHOW WE COULD
FOR THE GREATER GOOD
