Youre having a hard time and lately you dont feel so good
Youre getting a bad reputation in your neighborhood
Its alright, its alright
Sometimes thats what it takes
Youre only human, youre allowed to make your share of mistakes
You better believe there will be times in your life
When youll be feeling like a stumbling fool
So take it from me youll learn more from your accidents
Than anything that you could ever learn at school
Dont forget your second wind
Sooner of later youll get your second wind
Its not always easy to be living in this world of pain
Youre gonna be crashing into stone walls again and again
Its alright, its alright
Though you feel your heart break
Youre only human, youre gonna have to deal with heartache
Just like a boxer in a title fight
You got to walk in that ring all alone
Youre not the only one whos made mistakes
But theyre the only thing that you can truly call your own
Dont forget your second wind
Wait in that corner until that breeze blows in
Youve been keeping to yourself these days
Cause youre thinking everythings 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 dont want to hear advice from someone else
But I wouldnt be telling you if I hadnt been there myself
Its alright, its alright
Sometimes thats all it takes
Were only human
Were 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
Dont forget your second wind
Sooner or later youll feel that momentum kick in
Dont forget your second wind
Sooner or later youll feel that momentum kick in
