sometimes you lose before you win

Bryan Adams

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 liv? your life
A quarter mile at a tim?
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
