We will not go down (Song for Gaza)

We will not go down

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
