WE WILL NOT GO DOWN (Song for Gaza)




A blinding flash of white light


Lit up the sky over Gaza tonight


People running for cover


Not knowing whether they’re dead or alive



They came with their tanks and their planes


With ravaging fiery flames


And nothing remains


Just a voice rising up in the smoky haze



We will not go down


In the night, without a fight


You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools


But our spirit will never die


We will not go down


In Gaza tonight



Women and children alike


Murdered and massacred night after night


While the so-called leaders of countries afar


Debated on who’s wrong or right



But their powerless words were in vain


And the bombs fell down like acid rain


But through the tears and the blood and the pain


You can still hear that voice through the smoky haze



We will not go downI


n the night, without a fight


You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools


But our spirit will never die


We will not go down


In Gaza tonight
