Hold on a min ...mmph …there, now that my mouthpiece is out, I can answer. Ok look, see this is how it is, people. I really don’t got a song for all occasions that can best tell you all how my life really is, ok? All right. But I do got a song that I really, really like. You do know who Billy Joel is right? Ok, who just said to themselves, “Billy who?”? Where have you been living, in a cave?
…Oh, right, the song. It’s called “You’re Only Human”. I think I liked it first because of these lyrics.
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
You see, I think life is a lot like that. In the end, no matter how many friends and family members that you have, sometimes you have to “man up” and own up to your mistakes, all by yourself. Man, there’s no one else that can do it for you.
Well that and I swear I break out into a grin every time it comes on. Makes me feel good about just being human.
You're Only Human
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 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
