Cup of Kindness
Lyrics
You gave yourself up to the mystery And sailed the oceans looking for The secret of the key To unlock a truth that you may never find For it was a cup of kindness all the time You feel the thirst But none can make you drink The answer's waiting for you here but It's not what you think It won't steal your soul or leave you blind It was just a cup of kindness all the time And when Mother Mary finally comes to call She could pass right through your heart And leave no trace at all While you were reaching for The sacred and divine She was standing right beside you All the time ♪ And the emptiness You can't seem to fill Beauty fades and pleasures cannot Take away the chill And the glamour lures you down into a lie Oh but the cup of kindness Never will run dry ♪ You hear the vandals Howlin' down your walls And arm yourself against the ones Who want to see you fall 'Til some Holy Grail reveals The grand design Well, it was in a cup of kindness All the time And when Mother Mary finally comes to call She could pass right through your heart And leave no trace at all While you were reaching for The sacred and divine She was standing right beside you All the time
