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, 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 (Oh, oh, I am the second man) (Oh, oh, I am the second man) All of my symphonies with twenty-four parts (Oh, oh, I am the second man now) (And you're raising the dead in me)
Life is not what I thought it was twenty-four hours ago (Oh, oh, I am the second man) (Oh, oh, I am the second man) Still I'm singing 'Spirit, take me up in arms with You' (Oh, oh, I am the second man now) (And you're raising the dead in me)
I'm not copping out (Oh, oh, I am the second man) Not copping out (Oh, oh, I am the second man) Not, not copping out (Oh, oh, I am the second man)
