Excuse me of the words I say
Excuse me of the god to whom I pray
Excuse me of the color of my skin
Excuse me of what resides within
Excuse me ancestors I never knew
Excuse me thoughts that I hold true
Excuse me of the words you say
Excuse me of the god to whom you pray
Excuse me of the color of your skin
Excuse me of what resides within
Excuse me ancestors you never knew
Excuse me thoughts that you hold true
Excuse us our not forgotten shame
Excuse us all our common pain
