Switchfoot - 24

24 oceans // 24 skies
24 failures // 24 tries
24 finds me // in 24th place
24 dropouts // 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.
see i'm not copping out // not copping out
not copping out // when you're raising the dead in me.

i am the 2nd man // i am the 2nd man now
i am the 2nd man now // and you're raising these...

24 voices // with 24 hearts
and all of my symphonies // in 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.

i am the 2nd man // i am the 2nd man now
i am the 2nd man now // and you're raising the dead in me.

i want to see miracles // to see the world change
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.

24 voices // with 24 hearts
with all of my symphonies // in 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
not copping out.
