The colors soared high
In so many hues
Soaked in hopes
Of rising stars
Here, to chase a Blitz of clues
and honor history,
the birth of man
To win the gold
or snag a bronze
Arriving from near, and afar
From the seat of Mesopotamia, Iraq
to nearby Princeton
draped in ivy, topped with laurels
that once a Madden inherited
And carries on today
With pride and honor
to chisel a path
determined
for our children
our beloved kin
For there’s no better teacher
than the story of our past
Our own story, our history
Sung everyday, and with a blast
Here at the International History Olympiad
