Miscellaneous
Cradle song
You can't sing about the war with songs. No matter how loud you sing, it doesn't drown out the war
No matter how great the resistance, it remains a resistance
/>Sing the world awake with a lullaby
Give the war children a name
So they are closer to you
Name them Remco or Charlotte
Jasperina, Boudewijn
Give the homeless people back their home
And the sleepless their sleep
Call them Marco, Jann, Mathilde
Edith, Hella, Jaap
The war will never silence my song
How loud the roar, how soft my singing
How great the violence, how small my lullaby
I will stay awake, don't be afraid
Give the children of war a name
So that they can get closer you are
Call them Nonnie, Nous'che, Constantijn
Give the wicked back their faith
Be a parent to the orphan
Call them Erik, Nard, Suzanne
Thomas, Judith, Kees
Give the war children a name
Then you can be closer to them
Call them Jelle, York or Anne
Rosalein or Valentijn
Give the degenerates their roots again
give the dying a bed
Call them Letja, Merlijn or Roger
Hubert, Robert Jan, Babette
