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 you accidents   Than anything you could ever learn at school       Don't forget your second wind   Sooner or 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, your 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 things that you can truly call your own       Don't forget your second wind   Wait in your 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
