song for gaza

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 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 tonightWomen and children alike

Murdered and massacred night after night

While the so-called leaders of countries afar

Debated on whos 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
