Daughter of Semiramis
Hold your back up straight
Let not the woes of the world
Break down your will with hate
Like the Tigris and Euphrates
Did flow for thousands of years
Tho’ the blood of many of your people
Did flow like endless tears
Daughter of Semiramis
Hold your shoulders even
When strain would wear you down
Recall the gods your forebears believed in
Like the Winged Bull had power
And strength beyond compare
Fight the battles of this earth
As no one else would dare
Daughter of Semiramis
Hold your body with grace
Let no ill cause you pain
Let no one break your pace
As your forefathers did fight
With courage and with vigor
You must show your power
Through education and through rigor
Daughter of Semiramis
Hold your head up high
Let no force hold you back
For you are your own ally
Like your beauteous namesake Queen
Be all that you can be
Show the glory of your past and future
And have faith in God almighty
