Switchfoot - Twenty-Four lyrics

Twenty-four oceans, twenty-four skies Twenty-four failures in twenty-four tries Twenty-four finds me in twenty-fourth place With twenty-four dropouts 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 But see I'm not copping out I'm not copping out I'm 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 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 want to see miracles To see the world change I 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 And you're raising these twenty-four voices With twenty-four hearts And all of my symphonies in 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 I'm not copping out I'm not copping out I'm not copping out
