 Flag of Uganda

Flag of Uganda, colors bright,

Six stripes of yellow, red and black,

For sunshine, blood and ethnic might,

Of living forward, never back.

A circle white in center be.

In the circle, a gray crowned crane,

Fabled for its gentility,

National bird of the domain

Of Uganda, Republic of

A people striving to live well.

And independence be first love

To have in time and place to dwell.

The crane's raised leg is message sent

Of Uganda's forward movement.
