If you think you are beaten, you are
If you think you dare not, you don't
If you think you like to win, but can't,
It's almost a cinch that you won't.
If you think you'll lose, you've lost.
For out in the world you'll find that
Success begins with a fellows will.
It's all in the state of mind....
Think big and your deeds will grow.
Think small and you'll fall behind.
Think that you can and you will.
It's all in the state of mind.....
Life's battle doesn't always go
To the stronger faster man.
But sooner or later, the man who wins
Is the fellow who thinks he can.
