I see in your eyes
that you've suffered so long
I feel it in your skies, Uganda,
I hear it in your song
And oh, Uganda,
I know from your smile
that we'll always be friends
Everybody knows, Uganda,
a smile wins in the end
With a smile that would
warm the coldest soul
In a way the morning
sun might fail to
With a story that could hit
the hardest heart
And break that beating heart in two
With a pride that is all your very own
With a hunger that's oh so real
With a longing to finally reach your home
With a hope you can touch and feel
Oh, Uganda,
I see it in your eyes
that you've suffered so long
I feel it in your sighs, Uganda,
I hear it in your song
Oh, Uganda,
I know from your smile
that we'll always be friends
Everybody knows Uganda
A smile once in the end
The laughter of your children
carries on the breezes
Blowing into beautiful places
And the wonder of it all
is that they laugh it off
Given all the troubles
they're faced with
With a pride that is all they're wearing
An d a hunger that's so, real
With a longing to finally reach their homes
With a hope you can touch and feel
Oh, Uganda
I see it in your eyes
that you've suffered so long
I feel it in your skies, Uganda,
I hear it in your song
Oh, Uganda,
I know from your smile
that we'll always be friends
Everybody knows, Uganda,
a smile wins in the end
Oh, Uganda
Oh Uganda
Oh Uganda
Oh Uganda
