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 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 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
