Twenty-Four
by Switchfoot

24 oceans
24 skies
24 failures
24 tries

24 finds me
in 24th place
with 24 drop outs at the end of the day

Life is not what I thought it was, 24 hours ago
Still im singin 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

there's 24 reasons to admit that I'm wrong
With all my exuses still 24 strong

You see, im not copping out, not copping out
Not copping out when your raising the dead in me

oh wo oh wo oh I am the second man
oh wo oh oh wo oh I am the second man nooow
ew we ew I am the second man now
and your raising these 24 voices
with 24 hearts
and all of my symphony with 24 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

oh wo oh wo oh wo I am the second man
oh wo oh wo oh I am the second man now
oh wo oh I am the second man now, and your raising the dead in me


I want to see a miracle
See the world change

I wrestled an angle
for more than a name
for more than a feeling
more than a call

I'm singing spirit take me up in arms with you

(and your raising the dead in me)

24 oceans
24 hearts
and all of my symphonies with 24 parts

Life is not what I thought it was 24 hours ago
Still I'm singing spirit take me up in arms!
I'm not copping out, not copping out, I, I'm not, not, copping out
