If You Think You Can...

"If You Think You Can, You Can"
Denis Waitley from “Seeds of Greatness.”

You can be a total winner, even if you're a beginner,
If you think you can-if you think you can, you can;
You can wear the gold medallion, you can ride your own black stallion,
If you think you can-if you think you can, you can;
It's not your talent, or the gifted birth,
It's not your bankbook that determines your worth;
And it isn't the color of your skin,
It's your attitude that lets you win!
You can upset McEnroe or Austin, win the marathon in Boston,
If you think you can, you can-if you think you can, you can;
You can profit through inflation, you can redirect this nation,
If you think you can, you can-if you think you can, you can.
It doesn't matter if you've won before,
It makes no difference what the half-time score;
It's never over 'till the final gun,
So keep on trying and you'll find you've won.
Just grab your dream and then believe it,
Go out and work, and you'll achieve it;
If you think you can, you can-if you think you can, you can.
