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…

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

Cuz you’re gonna fall with the grace of a cannonball
But 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

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
