The natural resources of Zambia are suggested by the green field (for farming) and the orange stripe (for copper). Black is for the people, and red for independence.

National Anthem

Stand and sing of Zambia, proud and free, Land of work and joy in unity, Victors in the struggle for the right, We have won freedom's fight. All one, strong and free.

Africa is our own motherland, Fashion'd with and blessed by God's good hand, Let us all her people join as one, Brothers under the sun. All one, strong and free.

One land and one nation is our cry, Dignity and peace 'neath Zambia's sky, Like our noble eagle in its flight, Zambia, praise to thee. All one, strong and free.

CHORUS
Praise be to God. Bless our great nation, Free men we stand Under the flag of our land. Zambia, praise to thee! All one, strong and free.
