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 
 
In the night, without a fight 
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools 
But our spirit will never die 
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 
 
In the night, without a fight 
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools 
But our spirit will never die 
In Gaza tonight
