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 fear 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, rise, on the wings of the morning    Though we hide, hide, in the shadows of 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...
