We Will Not Go Down (Song for Gaza) Lyrics

A blinding flash of white light
Lit up the sky over Gaza tonight
People running for cover
Not knowing whether theyre dead or aliveThey came with their tanks and their planes
With ravaging fiery flames
And nothing remains
Just a voice rising up in the smoky hazeWe 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 tonightWomen and children alike
Murdered and massacred night after night
While the so-called leaders of countries afar
Debated on whose wrong or rightBut 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 hazeWe 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 tonightWe 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 dieWe will not go down
In the night, without a fight
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight
