Forgive me for the mistakes of my fathers 
For the destruction done to the people of this land 
And for all the sisters and the brothers 
Who suffered at the will of their uncaring hand 
Forgive me for the sins of the oppressors 
Who stole from your people their dignity 
And patronizing your beloved ancestors 
Reduced, they lost their humanity 
Forgive for the colour of my skin 
For reminding you of pain once inflicted 
My whiteness is my biggest sin 
That and what it once depicted 
Forgive me for my love for your land 
A land who’s spirit my fathers have torn 
For writing the words ‘home’ in your sand 
And for it being the land in which I was born 
Forgive me for the blue of my eye 
For the blonde of my hair and for my last name 
I have never done harm but yet I cry 
For the blood in my veins are still to blame
