The Saxon Creed
If you think you are beaten, you are If you think you dare not, you won't, If you like to win, but don't think you can It's almost certain you won't If you think you'll lose, you're lost For out in this world you'll find, Success begins with a Saxons will It's all in a state of mind For many a game is lost Before even a play is run, And many a coward fails Before his work is begun Think big and your work will grow Think small and you'll fall behind Think that you can and you will It's all a state of mind If you think you are out-classed, you are You've got to believe to secure the win You've got to be sure of yourself before You can ever bring home the prize Life battles don't always go To the stronger or faster man But sooner or later, the man who wins Is the Saxon who thinks he can
