GAZA: MICHAEL HEART.. JUST A SONG

This is a song of hope for the Palestinians in Gaza, composed andperformed by Michael Heart (www.michaelheart. com) Copyright 2009*

Lyrics:*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 downIn Gaza tonight
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 the night, without a fight
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight
