Táhirih [v2]

[intro] [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. [build up] [build up] [build up] [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.

[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. [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. [end] [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. [end] [end]
