Caedmon's Call

Wings Of The Morning

Caedmon's Call


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 ...
