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
