24 oceans, 24 skies,
24 failures, and 24 tries.
24 finds me in 24th place.
With 24 letdowns at the end of the day.

Life is not what I thought it was
24 hours ago.
Still I'm singing "Spirit, take me up in arms with You"
And I'm not who I thought I was
24 hours ago.
Still I'm singing "Spirit take me up in arms with You"

24 reasons to admit that I'm wrong
With all my excuses still 24 strong

But see I'm not copping out
When You're raising the dead in me

Oh, I an the second man
Oh, I am the second man now
Oh, I am the second man now

And you're raising these 24 voices
With 24 hearts
With all of my symphonies in 24 parts
But I want to be that one today
Centered and true

I want to see miracles
I want to see the world change
I wrestled the angel
For more than a name
For more than a feeling
For more than a cause
Singing "Spirit take me up in arms w/ You"
You're raising the dead in me
