If you think you are beaten , you are; 
If you think you dare not, you don't; 
If you like to win, but think you can't, 
it is almost certain you won't. 

If you think you'll lose, you've lost, 
for out in the world we find 
success begins with a persons will; 
It's all a state of mind. 

If you think you are outclassed, you are; 
you got to think high to rise, 
you've got to be sure of yourself before 
you can even win the prize. 

Life's battles don't always go 
To the stronger or faster man, 
But sooner or later, the person who wins 
Is the person who thinks, "I can!"
