Twenty-four Lyrics

Twenty-four 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
