I Don't Ever Give Up - The Man Who Thinks He Can

THE MAN WHO THINKS HE CAN
Walter D. Wintle
c
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 fine
Success begins with a fellows will;
It's all in the state of mind.

s
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 even win a prize.
Life's battle don't always go
To the stronger or fastest man;
But soon or late the man who wins
Is the one who thinks he can.
