I'll bet I've seen a thousand tears shed over lovers lost
And there's been many mighty ships sunk to the ocean floor
Because of tempest tossed

Don't give up there's no reason why
You have to set your sails to cross the raging sea
That's why, you never know until you try

Many founding fathers have lost their lives in the fight for liberty
Brother against brother have fought the fight to abolish slavery

The winner has lost many a race before the time he won
And the winner will lose many more times before his day is done
