Stick To Your Convictions

Stick to your convictions
Don’t ever back away
Tell it like it is
Say all you have to say.

When you have a chance to meet success
Stick to your convictions
And surely if you do what’s right
You’ll have very few restrictions.

So knuckle down , apply yourself
Be the best that you can be
If you stick to your convictions
Your success you’ll guarantee.

The safest way you can succeed
And live up to your predictions
Is to work real hard, but most of all
Stick to your convictions.
