Twenty-Four

I'm not copping out

Still I'm singing 'Spirit

With all my excuses
At the end of the day
Oh, oh, I am the second man now
I'm singing 'Spirit
With twenty-four hearts
Twenty-four hours ago
There's twenty-four reasons
Twenty-four hours ago
Still twenty-four strong

And you're raising the dead in me, yeah
With twenty-four hearts

Twenty-four failures
I'm singing 'Spirit
I wanna see miracles
Oh, oh, I am the second man
Take me up in arms with you'
For more than a feeling
To admit that I'm wrong
Still I'm singing 'Spirit
Centered and true
Life is not what I thought it was
For more than a cause
With twenty-four parts

And twenty-four tries
And I'm not who I thought I was
Wrestled the angel

Oh, oh, I am the second man

Not copping out
Take me up in arms with you'
To see the world change
Still I'm singing 'Spirit
All of my symphonies
And you're raising the dead in me

And you're raising the dead in me
Oh, oh, I am the second man now
With twenty-four drop outs
Twenty-four finds me
Twenty-four voices

When you're raising the dead in me
You're raising the dead in me
Life is not what I thought it was
In twenty-four parts
Take me up in arms with you'
Not copping out
In twenty-fourth place

And you're raising these
Take me up in arms with you'
All of my symphonies
But I want to be one today
Oh, I am the second man now
Take me up in arms with you'

For more than a name
Twenty-four hours ago
See, I'm not copping out
Twenty-four oceans

Oh, I am the second man now
