"Stick to your guns, "
funny for the type sick of violence
Giving an arm to hand out a handy help for misfortunes
Fortunately for the fortunes we only see in an afterlife,
the rewards to stick up for those below
As impressive as it is to walk a mile of courage
tis the courage of the silent helper that fulfils a soul

"Stick to the rules,"
as every stick and stone does break your bones
stick ups to rob a store, are all markets promoting one
To always be on the wrong side of the law
For every heart is wicked and cold to their thoughts;
yet still a vessel of love, lest we don't learn how to show warmth
An open fire; open up your passion resting behind a heart's door
For it could feel so little,β€”for a moment
But one caring moment leads to so much more in store

Yes, sticky situations are always plenty
but we stick to the many lessons we've learnt
To teach those behind us, guided by those before
Generations upon generations
generating the power to do better
Yes, that is the treasure hidden in the eyes of kindness
sticking out in the presence of tomorrow's greatness

And in ending,
always, and truly stick to the amazing person you are!
Drawing a line in the sand,
be guided by what has been given to you
Like a hiker in life's forest with a stick
