you re only human second wind

Billy Joel

You re having a hard time and lately you don t feel so good
You re getting a bad reputation in your neighborhood
It s alright, it s alright, sometimes that s what it takes
You re only human, you re allowed to make your share of mistakes
(You re only human, ooo-ooo)

You better believe there will be times in your life
When you ll be feeling like a stumbling fool
So take it from me you ll learn more from your accidents
Than anything that you could ever learn at school

Don t forget your second wind
Sooner of later you ll get your second wind

It s not always easy to be living in this world of pain
You re gonna be crashing into stone walls again and again
It s alright, it s alright, though you feel your heart break
You re only human, you re gonna have to deal with heartache
(You re only human, ooo-ooo)

Just like a boxer in a title fight
You got to walk in that ring all alone
You re not the only one who s made mistakes
But they re the only thing that you can truly call your own

Don t forget your second wind
Wait in that corner until that breeze blows in

You ve been keeping to yourself these days
Cause you re thinking everything s gone wrong
Sometimes you just want to lay down and die
That emotion can be so strong
But hold on till that old second wind comes along
(You re only human, ooo-ooo)

You probably don t want to hear advice from someone else
But I wouldn t be telling you if I hadn t been there myself
It s alright, it s alright, sometimes that s all it takes
We re only human, we re supposed to make mistakes
(You re only human, ooo-ooo)

But I survived all those long lonely days
When it seemed I did not have a friend
Cause all I needed was a little faith
So I could catch my breath and face the world again

Don t forget your second wind
Sooner or later you ll feel that momentum kick in
(One more time!)
Don t forget your second wind
Sooner or later you ll feel that momentum kick in

Don t forget your second wind
(You re only human, ooo-ooo)
