| Song | Cup of Kindness |
| Artist | Emmylou Harris |
| Album | Stumble Into Grace |
| 作曲 : Harris | |
| 作词 : Harris | |
| 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 call | |
| 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... |
