Lyrics:

Twenty-four oceans

Twenty-four skies

Twenty-four failures

And 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



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



I wanna 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 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
