Twenty-four oceans
Twenty-four skies
Twenty-four failures
And twenty-four tries
Twenty-four finds me
In twenty-fourth place
With twenty-four dropouts
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
See, I'm not copping out
Not copping out
Not copping out
When you're raising the dead in me
Oh, oh, I am the second man
Oh, oh, I am the second man now
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, oh, I am the second man
Oh, oh, I am the second man now
Oh, I am the second man now
And you're raising the dead in me, yeah, yeah
I want to see miracles
To see the world change
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-
Twenty-four oceans
With twenty-four hearts
All of my symphonies
In 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"
I'm not copping out
Not copping out
Not, not copping out
