[Verse 1] Twenty-four oceans Twenty-four skies Twenty-four failures And twenty-four tries Twenty-four finds me In twenty-fourth place With twenty-four dropouts At the end of the day [Pre-Chorus] 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" [Verse 2] There's twenty-four reasons To admit that I'm wrong With all my excuses Still twenty-four strong [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] 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- [Verse 3] 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 [Pre-Chorus] I'm singing Spirit take me up in arms with You You're raising the dead in me [Chorus] 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 [Post-Chorus] Yeah, yeah [Bridge] 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 [Pre-Chorus] Yeah, I'm singing, "Spirit, take me up in arms with You" And You're raising the dead in me [Chorus] Oh, oh I am the second man Oh-oh, oh-oh I am the second man now (Oh, oh) Oh, oh I am the second man now (Oh, oh) You're raisin' the dead in me [Outro] Twenty-four oceans (Oh, oh, I am the second man now) With twenty-four hearts (Oh, oh, I am the second man now) And all of my symphonies in twenty-four parts (Oh, oh, I am the second man now) Life is not what I thought it was twenty-four hours ago (Oh, oh, I am the second man now) Still, I'm singing, "Spirit, take me up in arms" (Oh, oh) And You're raising these twenty-four I'm not copping out I'm not copping out I'm not copping out
