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
