We Will Not Go Down!

WE WILL NOT GO DOWN (Song for Gaza)

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

Konflik Palestina bukanlah konflik antar agama, tapi masalah kemanusiaan, masalah penjajahan, masalah perampasan tanah bangsa Palestina yang diduduki oleh bangsa Yahudi. Sangat wajar kalo Bangsa Palestina ingin menjadi tuan di rumahnya sendiri, ingin mendapatkan kembali apa yang dulu pernah menjadi miliknya secara sah. Lirik di atas adalah sebuah lagu yang menceritakan kondisi Gaza selama agresi Israel. Ditulis oleh seorang musisi asal Amerika yang masih punya hati dan perasaan, ketika banyak para pemimpinnya berhati keras bahkan melebihi batu. Tetap semangat saudara-saudaraku di Gaza. Keep fighting our brother and sister in Gaza. We always with you.
