And sailed the oceans looking for
The secret of the key
To unlock a truth that you may never find
For it was m 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 cal
She could pass right thru 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 chili
And the glamour lures you down into a lie
O 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
Till some Holy Grail reveals
The grand design
Well it was in a cup of kindness
All the time
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 m 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 cal She could pass right thru 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 chili And the glamour lures you down into a lie O 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 Till some Holy Grail reveals The grand design Well it was in a cup of kindness All the time Explain Request ×
