Billy Joel Second Wind Lyrics

Second Wind Lyrics

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
