Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In Persia's ancient land so wide,
A beacon shone, a glowing guide.
Tah-her-eh, a name so pure,
In faith and light, her heart was sure.
[Chorus in minor key]
Tah-her-eh, the Pure One, brave and strong,
Her voice a melody, her life a song.
In the face of darkness, she stood tall,
For truth and justice, she gave her all.
[Verse 2]
A scholar wise, in books she found,
A truth that turned her world around.
She heard the Báb’s call, clear and bright,
And followed him into the light.
[Interlude]
[Chorus in minor key]
Tah-her-eh, the Pure One, brave and strong,
Her voice a melody, her life a song.
In the face of darkness, she stood tall,
For truth and justice, she gave her all.

Tah-her-eh, the Pure One, brave and strong,

[Verse 3]
At Badasht, she cast her veil,
A symbol bold, a mighty tale.
For women's rights, she took a stand,
A future bright, a promised land.
[Chorus in minor key]
Tah-her-eh, the Pure One, brave and strong,
Her voice a melody, her life a song.
In the face of darkness, she stood tall,
For truth and justice, she gave her all.
[Verse 4]
Imprisoned for her faith so true,
Her spirit soared, her courage grew.
With grace, she met her final day,
Her words of hope, still light the way.
[spoken word]
“You can kill me as soon as you like, but you will never stop the emancipation of women.”
[Chorus in minor key]
Tah-her-eh, the Pure One, brave and strong,
Her voice a melody, her life a song.
In the face of darkness, she stood tall,
For truth and justice, she gave her all.
[ Outro ]
Though shadows fell and took her life,
Her legacy transcends all strife.
Tah-her-eh's light forever gleams,
In every heart, in every dream.
In every heart, in every dream.
