The Greater Good

How about we go in search of new land

Where there's no pleasure or pain?

How about we go and find a new state

Where from we cannot escape?

How about no neighbors and no friends

No anthem, no government?

How about no leaders and no nations

No birds of prey up in the air?

How about we go in search of new land

Where there's no purpose or aim?

How about we go and find a new road

Why must we live so afraid?

We know that we won't find the cure

To cancer, to ignorance

How about no thoughts and no prayers

No right or wrong, no good or bad?

Will we get to live and see the new day?

What have we done? We ran out of space

What to do if someone's taking over

Our fortune and fame?

We know that many others might have made it

We know the cost, the price to pay

We're nothing but the sand that fills the cracks

A soul in denial, a body ashamed

All around the world and the seven seas

Crowds of people keep closing in

Oh, when to hold, when to let go

The greater good, not good enough

All around the world and the seven seas

Crowds of people keep closing in

Oh, when to hold, when to let go

The greater good, not good enough

For all of us

All of us
