If you think you are beaten, you are;

If you think you dare not, you don't;

If you'd like to win, but think you can't,

It's almost a cinch you won't.

If you think you'll lose, you're lost.

For out in the world we find

Success begins with a person's faith;

It's all in the state of mind.

Life's battles don't always go

To the stronger or faster hand;

They go to the one who trusts in God

And always thinks "I can."
