Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
I believe in being honest; I believe in being true, That honesty should start with me In all I say, in all I do. I’ll form good habits in my youth, To keep my word, to tell the truth, To speak up in defending right And keep my name and honor bright. I believe in being honest; I believe in being true, That honesty should start with me In all I say, in all I do.
