(Composed by Jon Foreman)
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
Twenty-four reasons to admit that I'm wrong
With all my excuses still twenty-four strong
You see I'm not coping out
I'm not coping out, not coping out
When you're raising the dead in me
I am the second man
I am the second man now
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
I am the second man, I am the second man now
I am the second man now
And you're raising the dead in me
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
Twenty-four oceans,
Twenty-four hearts,
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 with you
I'm not coping out,
Not coping out,
I'm not, not coping out,
When you are raising the dead in me
