twenty four

twenty four oceans. twenty four skies. twenty four failures. twenty four tries. twenty four finds me in twenty-fourth place. twenty four drop outs at the end of the day. 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. twenty four reasons to admit that i'm wrong. with all my excuses still twenty four strong. i'm not copping out. when You're raising the dead in me. i am the second man. 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'm singing Spirit take me up in arms with You. You're raising the dead in me. i want to see miracles, see the world change. wrestled the angel, for more than a name. for more than a feeling. for more than a cause. i'm not copping out.
