We Will Not Go Down (for GAZA) by 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 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 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
 
 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 the night, without a fight

 we will not go down

 in gaza tonight
