Billy Joel - You're Only Human (Second Wind) lyrics

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 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

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 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

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

Don`t forget your second wind

Sooner or later you`ll feel that momentum kick in
