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
(Only human, whoa-whoa)
You better believe
There will be times in your life
When you'll be feeling like a stumbling fool
(Whooa-oh-oh-oooh-oh)
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
(Whooa-oh-ooh)

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
(Only human, whoa-whoa)
Mmmmm, just like a boxer in a title fight
You got to walk in that ring all alone
(Whooa-oh-oh-oooh-oh)
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 that corner
Until that breeze blows in

You've been keeping to yourself these days
'Cause you're thinking
Everything's gone wrong (whoa-whoa)
Sometimes you just want to lay down and die
That emotion can be so strong
But hold on
'Til that old second wind comes along
(Whooa-oh-ooh)

(Only human, whoa-whoa)
(Only human)

You probably don't want to hear advice
From someone else, no
But I wouldn't be telling you
If I hadn't been there myself, mmm
(It's alright) it's alright
Sometimes that's all it takes, ha, ha, ha
We're only human
We're supposed to make mistakes
(Only human, whoa-whoa)
But I survived all those long lonely days
When it seemed I did not have a friend
(Whooa-oh-oh-oooh-oh)
'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
One more time
Don't forget your second wind
Sooner or later
You'll feel that momentum kick in
Don't forget your second wind
(Only human, whoa-oh-oh)
Don't forget your second wind
Mmmm, that second wind
