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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] 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
