Moments of Giving Up

It is easy to love you
When the sun is shining
And I have Hillsong in my ears.
But when there’s hate in their eyes
And the tests all come back positive,
My flame dims
And my heart breaks
And the last thing I want to be
Is a teacher
Or a minister
Or the change I want to see,
Tell me what to do then
When all hope is lost
And carnations are blooming from this soiled flesh.
Tell me what to do
When the only virtue I have left
Is slipping through my fingers.
Because it is easy to love you
When I’m breathing
But there are more moments now
Spent giving up
Then there are thinking of you.
