It's All a State of Mind
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's almost a cinch, you won't.
If you think you'll lose, you're lost
For out in the world you'll find,
Success begins with a fellow's will.
It's all a state of mind.
For many a race is lost,
Ere even a step is run.
And many coward fails,
Ere even his work's begun.
Think big and your deeds will grow.
Think small and you'll fall behind.
Think that you can and you will.
It's all a 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 prize.
Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man
But sooner or later the man who wins
Is the one who thinks he can.
