State of Mind
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 that you won't.
If you think you'll lose, you've lost.
For out in the world you'll find,
success begins with a fellow's will.
It's all in the state of mind.
