This transcription is not my own work; it was contributed to the site by another Caedmon's Call fan.
I haven't had a lot of time for guitar recently, but this is one of several tabs that various nice people have sent me. I haven't reviewed or editted them, so no guarantees about accuracy, but I'm sure people will find them useful. If you have transcribed a Caedmon's Call or derek webb song that's not already on this site, please feel free to send it in to be shared here.

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 ...
