A Cup of Kindness

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)
