Twenty four oceans... Twenty four skies...
Twenty four failures... Twenty four tries...
Twenty four finds me... In twenty-fourth place
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.

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
With all of my symphonies...
In twenty four parts.
But I wanna 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

I want to see miracles, 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 voices (Oh, oh I am the second man)
  With twenty four hearts (Oh, oh I am the second man now)
  With all of my symphonies (Oh, I am the second man now)
  In twenty four parts. (And You're raising the dead I me)
  Life is not what I thought it was (Oh, oh I am the second man)
  Twenty four hours ago (Oh, oh I am the second man now)
  Still I'm singin (Oh, I am the second man now)
  Spirit take me up in arms  (And You're raising the dead in me)
  I'm not copping out. Not copping out. Not copping out.
