lyrics

Twenty-four oceans
Twenty-four skies
Twenty-four failures
In twenty-four tries

Twenty-four finds me
In twenty-fourth place
With twenty-four drop outs
At the end of the day

Life is not what I thought it was
Twenty-four hours ago
Still I'm singing,
“Spirit take me up in arms with you”

And I'm not who I thought I was
Twenty-four hours ago
Still I'm singing,
“Spirit take me up in arms with you”

There's twenty-four reasons
To admit that I'm wrong
With all my excuses
Still twenty-four strong

But, I'm not copping out
Not copping out
Not copping out
When you're raising the dead in me

Oh, I am the second man
Oh, I am the second man now

And you're raising these twenty-four voices
With twenty-four hearts
All of my symphonies
In twenty-four parts

But I want to be one today
Centered and true
I'm singing,
“Spirit take me up in arms with you”
You're raising the dead in me

Oh, I am the second man
And you're raising the dead in me

I want to see miracles
To see the world change
I wrestled the angel
For more than a name

For more than a feeling
For more than a cause
I'm singing,
“Spirit take me up in arms with you”
And you're raising the dead in me

Twenty-four oceans
With twenty-four hearts
All of my symphonies
With twenty-four parts

Life is not what I thought it was
Twenty-four hours ago
Still I'm singing,
“Spirit take me up in arms with you”
I'm not copping out
Not copping out
