[Intro: Justin Vernon]
Can you find the kindness?
Can you find the kindness?
The salt on the ruler, oh

[Verse: Lonnie Holley, Justin Vernon]
Most of the time it was in their dreams
Most of the time it was in their dreams
Or most of times they was on their knees
Telling me not to cry
Because I was the little baby
Because I was the little baby
About to cry
(Can you find the kindness?)
I thought about it
(And I thought about it)
We was mostly always there
(Woo-oh-oh-oh)
Spiritually
Like angels was all around me
(Galloping, galloping, galloping)
Angels was all around me
(Galloping, galloping, galloping)
Drying my tears away

[Chorus: Lonnie Holley, Justin Vernon]
I can still hear my mother and my grandmother
And them saying
Saying, “Hush little baby”
“Hush little baby, don’t you cry”
To cry my eyes
To dry up my eyes
(Can you find the kindness?)
Hush, hush, hush
(Can you find the kindness?)
Hush, little baby
[Outro: Lonnie Holley, Lonnie & Justin]
Greatness come in the morning
Kindness will follow your tears
Greatness will come in the morning
And kindness will follow your tears
And dry them up
Down through the years
