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

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
Under The Same Sun-Scorpions
I saw the morning It was shattered by a gun Heard a scream, saw him fall, no one cried I saw a mother She was praying for her son Bring him back, let him live, dont let him die
Do you ever ask yourself Is there a heaven in the sky Why cant we get it right
cause we all live under the same sun We all walk under the same moon Then why, why cant we live as one
I saw the evening Fading shadows one by one We watch the lamb, lay down to the sacrifice I saw the children The children of the sun How they wept, how they bled, how they died
Do you ever ask yourself Is there a heaven in the sky Why cant we stop the fight
cause we all live under the same sun We all walk under the same moon Then why, why cant we live as one
Sometimes I think Im going mad Were loosing all we had and no one seems to care But in my heart it doesnt change Weve got to rearrange and bring our world some love
And does it really matter If theres a heaven up above We sure could use some love
cause we all live under the same sun We all walk under the same moon Then why, why cant we live as one cause we all live under the same sky We all look up at the same stars Then why, tell me why cant we live as one
