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 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
