De dwaze moeders op het plein
Wier kinderen verduisterd zijn
En die nog steeds jaren door
Roepen ongehoord
Ze schuifelen door het journaal
Geef hun een teken een signaal
Dat geen enkele deur eeuwig dicht zal zijn
Dat aan het eind van de tunnel weer licht zal zijn
Gezinnen die de apartheidswaan
Meedogenloos uiteen liet slaan
Ze komen toch weer bij elkaar voor even maar
Want liefde is daar illegaal
Geef hun een teken, een signaal
Dat geen enkele deur eeuwig dicht zal zijn
Dat aan het eind van de tunnel weer licht zal zijn
Vervolgden om geloof of ras
Vervolgden om wat vader was
Vervolgden met het schietgebed
Van Jezus, Marx of Mohammed
Vervolgden met een ideaal
Geef hun een teken een signaal
Dat geen enkele deur eeuwig dicht zal zijn
Dat aan het eind van de tunnel weer licht zal zijn
Vervolgden om geloof of ras
Vervolgden om wat vader was
Vervolgden met het schietgebed
Van Jezus, Marx of Mohammed
Vervolgden met een ideaal
Geef hun een teken een signaal
Dat geen enkele deur eeuwig dicht zal zijn
Dat aan het eind van de tunnel weer licht zal zijn
Lalalalalalalalalala, lalalalalalalalalala
De dwaze moeders op het plein
Wier kinderen verduisterd zijn
En die nog steeds jaren door
Roepen ongehoord
Zoals de mijnwerkers in de mijn
De redding moet aanwezig zijn
De andere zijn hulp gaan halen
Het wachten is op de signalen
