life's battle

If you think you're beaten, you are
if you think you dare not, you don't.
If you'd like to win, but you think you can't,
it's almost a fact you won't.
If you think you'll lose, you're lost,
for out in the world we find
succes begins with a fellow's will
it's all in state of mind.

If you think you're outclassed, you are
you've got to think high to rise
you've got to be sure of yourself before
you can ever win the price.

Life's battle doesn't always go
to the stronger of faster man,
but sooner or later the man who wins,
is the man who thinks he can.
