Uganda, my motherland, my homeland where I was bred, born and raised While I may not like what you have become I am not going anywhere Age ain’t nothing but a number Now it is my turn - It is not about what you can do for me, but what I can do for you

I pledge to learn new skills and gain new knowledge everyday I pledge to gain mastery of the crafts that I practice I pledge to use those gifts To grow, guide, mentor To clear and prepare a path Starting from my own sire On the journey into the unknown future

I will not forget my culture and norms of my forefathers An unseen pulse through my veins A perspective A foothold to step on A ledge to hoist myself These too I add to my arsenal

I pledge to stand upon the shoulders of giants To grow strong So I can provide strong shoulders for others Despite all my failings To err is human I will stand strong

As I make this pledge I am of sound mind and thought

For God and my country
