Sometimes You Lose Before You Win

If you try to run, before you crawl
As sure as hell, you're gonna fall
So take your time, to breathe again
Just let it out, and let it in

Your life can be, a merry go
Round and round, before you know
You're back to where you start again
So let it out, and let in

You're gonna fall with the grace of a cannonball
You're gonna rise like a tide above it all
You gotta play, play your hand, or die where you stand
Sometimes you fail before you begin
Sometimes you lose before you win

You gotta try to live your life
A quarter mile at a time
Hear the starting gun and you begin
Just let it out, and let in

You're gonna run like the river runs deep
You're gonna blow like the wind, wind of change
You gotta find, find the spark that lights up the dark
Sometimes you fail before you begin
Sometimes you lose before you win

You gotta play, play your hand, or die where you stand
Sometimes you fail before you begin
Sometimes you lose before you win

You're gonna run like the river runs deep
You're gonna blow like the wind, wind of change
You gotta find, find the spark that lights up the dark
Sometimes you fail before you begin
Sometimes you lose before you win

Sometimes you lose before you win
