Mothers of the Disappeared

Midnight, our sons and daughters


Were cut down and taken from us
Hear their heartbeat
We hear their heartbeat

In the wind we hear their laughter


In the rain we see their tears
Hear their heartbeat
We hear their heartbeat

Night hangs like a prisoner


Stretched over, black and blue
Hear their heartbeat
We hear their heartbeat

In the trees our sons stand naked


Through the walls our daughters cry
See their tears in the rainfall
