Song for Gaza

Genosida yang dilakukan Israel atas rakyat Palestina di Jalur Gaza rupanya mengundang simpati dari salah satu musisi negeri Paman Sam, Michael Heart. Lewat lagunya 'WE WILL NOT GO DOWN (Song for Gaza)' dia mencoba menggambarkan penderitaan yang dialami rakyat Palestina dan semangat mereka untuk tidak menyerah. Sangat menyentuh. Lagu dan liriknya sendiri dapat diunduh secara gratis di sini. Berikut lirik lagunya.


WE WILL NOT GO DOWN (Song for Gaza)
(Composed by Michael Heart)
Copyright 2009


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
