On this day, I shall profess, my true devotion, to TBS. I'm a sister, of the bond, of this kinship, I am found. Tau Beta Sigma, for you I will hold strong. Tau Beta Sigma, a sister for 'ere long. When I wander, far from home, I'll have courage I'm not alone. When darkness falls, and all is night, I'll trust my heart, and find the light. Tau Beta Sigma, for you I will hold strong. Tau Beta Sigma, a sister for 'ere long. So from today, until my rest, with my sisters, I am best.
