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     Chorus: 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     Chorus    these lyrics are submitted by Samir R.
