Uganda in My Heart

[Verse 1]
Red earth on my shoes
Morning smoke above the hills
Children racing dusty roads
Chasing dreams
Chasing thrills
Languages in every laugh
Drums from distant village ground
Market colors spill like rain
Every corner
Sacred ground
[Chorus]
Uganda in my heart
From river bend to mountain start
I love this land
I sing it loud
Head held high
I walk so proud
Uganda in my heart
Every story
Every part
Hand in hand
We carry on
This is where my soul belongs
[Verse 2]
Makers in the city streets
Turning stubborn scraps to gold
Young minds sketching brighter days
Braver than the tales we're told
Voices standing side by side
Speaking truth in open air
Wind that used to slam our doors
Now blows windows everywhere
[Chorus]
Uganda in my heart
From river bend to mountain start
I love this land
I sing it loud
Head held high
I walk so proud
Uganda in my heart
Every story
Every part
Hand in hand
We carry on
This is where my soul belongs
