[Song for Gaza]

We Will Not Go Down (Song for Gaza)

oleh: Michael Heart

 

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 downIn 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 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
