VerseThe air is filled as our voices ringFrom earth to the heav’ns above.

with voices raised, we’re singing praise,To the school we dearly love.

RefrainHail! Hail! Hail! to Texas Southern;Hail, to our dear Maroon and Gray.

Undivided we will standBy the greatest in the land.T-S-U, T-S-U, we love you.

All roads lead to Texas Southern,Paved with light for one and all.

T-S-U’re a shining star,And we’re proud of what you are,

T-S-U, T-S-U, we love you.

Hail! Hail! Hail! to Texas Southern;Hail to our Chiefs in reverence we sing.

In our hearts you’ll always stayAs you lead us on our way,T-S-U, T-S-U, we love you.
