A Cup of Kindness Lyrics

Time's been playing tricks on me

Contracting when it's good

Leaving me to wrestle with

What can't be understood

The way you turn your music up

To drown the awful sound

Your engine's making, driving 80

Headed out of town

I want less of that next year

I want more of this

Take the good and bad as one

And wrap me up in bliss

I've learned we're all connected

Like how trees all share the rain

We're not just sharing spaces

We inhabit the same pain

My friend said that she's tired

Yet the world keeps us around

And we fight against it

Like we fight our feet against the ground

I want less of that next year

I want more of this

Take the good and bad as one

And wrap me up in bliss

Find me here in silence

Take a breath and feel the mend

Waking up around us

Oh, this doesn't have to end

But I've tried and tried

To hide my eyes from the sight

Of time going by

A year and a night at a time

It's alright

I want less of that next year

I want more of this

Take the good and bad as one

And wrap me up in bliss

I want less of that next year

There must be more to this

Take the good and bad as one

And wrap me up in bliss

(Should auld acquaintance be forgot

And never brought to mind

Should auld acquaintance be forgot

And days of lang syne

For auld lang syne, my dear

For auld lang syne

We'll take a cup of kindness yet

For auld lang syne)
