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
