[Verse 1: Tyler Joseph]
Twenty-four oceans
Twenty-four skies
Twenty-four failures
And twenty-four tries
Twenty-four finds me
In twenty-fourth place
With twenty-four dropouts
At the end of the day
Life is not what I thought it was
Twenty-four hours ago

[Refrain: Tyler Joseph]
Still I'm singin'
"Spirit, take me up in arms with You"
And I'm not who I thought I was
Twenty-four hours ago
Still I'm singin'
"Spirit, take me up in arms with You"

[Verse 2: Tyler Joseph]
There's twenty-four reasons
To admit that I'm wrong
With all my excuses
Still twenty-four strong
[Bridge: Tyler Joseph]
But see, I'm not copping out
Not copping out
Not copping out
You're raisin' the dead in me

[Chorus: Tyler Joseph]
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
I am the second man
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
I am the second man now
(Oh-oh-oh) Oh-oh-oh
I am the second man now
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)

[Verse 3: Tyler Joseph]
You're raisin' 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

[Refrain: Tyler Joseph]
Still I'm singin'
"Spirit, take me up in arms with You
You're raisin' the dead in me"
[Chorus: Tyler Joseph]
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
I am the second man
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
I am the second man now
(Oh-oh-oh) Oh-oh-oh
I am the second man now
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
You're raisin' the dead in me, yeah

[Post-Chorus: Tyler Joseph]
Oh-oh, mm-mm-mm

[Verse 4: Tyler Joseph]
I want to see miracles
To see the world change
To wrestle the angel
For more than a name
For more than a feeling
For more than a cause

[Refrain: Tyler Joseph]
Still I'm singin'
"Spirit, take me up in arms with You
And You're raisin' the dead in me"
[Chorus: Tyler Joseph]
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
I am the second man
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
I am the second man now
(Oh-oh-oh) Oh-oh-oh
I am the second man now
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
You're raisin' the dead in me

[Outro: Tyler Joseph]
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Life is not what I find
I am the second man
Take me up in arms
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
I am the second man
I am the second man now
Holy Spirit, take me up in arms
(Oh-oh-oh) Oh-oh-oh
I am the second man now
You're raisin' the dead
