My interpretation of these lyrics is that they are speaking about people in general and saying that we all have the potential to do great, selfless and sometimes heroic things thus showing what it means to be human and proving that although the daily news is full of doom and gloom (dystopic claims) there really is good in the world. The 2nd verses uses Captain Sullenberger III as an example.
When using the word great I am not just refering to saving lives but also to the small every day things like helping others and putting other peoples needs in front of your own.
We all should strive to be the kind of people that this song refers to and hope that we to have proved to be real human beings.
One of the most meaningful and Beautiful songs I've ever heard.
