I woke to the sirens of the city They were calling me to hold my head up high But the truth was in the dust that hangs like curtains From the beggars to the sky
The ads and billboards rained in every language The message every politician knows When we're fed that we are nothing we'll believe it And then do what we are told
The spark of the divine I see it in your eyes It's there behind the lies that tie you down
On the wings of the morning Hope is rising In the darkest night Your love and light prevail
Ask any good detective, he will tell you It's the eyes that always give the truth away And in yours I see the feat that's bound and gagged you With no hope for escape
It's true that we are fallen as an angel But you and me, we're also holy as a prayer Made in the image of a giver and a lover Who left His throne to come down here
The spark of the divine I see it in your eyes It's there behind the lies that tie you down
On the wings of the morning Hope is rising In the darkest night Your love and light prevail
We will rise on the wings of the morning Though we hide, hide in the shadows of the night There is hope, hope in the hands that have made us And are holding us tight...
Hope is rising ... on the wings of the morning Hope is rising ... in the shadows of the night Hope is rising ... from the hands that have made us And are holding us tight ...
