Switchfoot - Twenty-Four

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.

(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.

Twenty-four reasons to admit that I`m wrong
With all my excuses still twenty-four strong.

(chorus)

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

Oh, I am the second man
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 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
Singing Spirit take me up in arms with You
You`re raising the dead in me
