UPDATE: for all those who can’t access YouTube, you can check out the song here and here. [Thanks to Tafatefo and Rime for the tip.]

This is a very moving song by the extremely talented Michael Heart, I found here few days ago, but was trying to find a way to get readers in Tunisia to be able to enjoy the song using a link other than youtube since it’s banned in Tunisia. I couldn’t, so I’ll just publish the lyrics, and here is the youtube link for those outside Tunisia to enjoy.

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
