WE WILL NOT GO DOWN (Song For GAZA)
(Composed & Performed by Michael Heart)
(Copyright 2009)
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 d



own
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
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

Letter From Michael Heart
Dear friends,
I have been overwhelmed by the warmth and the friendship you have all given me 
in response to my song for Gaza, 
“We Will Not Go Down”. I am doing my best to go through your numerous messages, 
emails and comments, and ask 
you to kindly bear with me until I am able to do so. Please forgive me if I am not 
able to respond to each 
and everyone of you; but please also know that I really appreciate your messages.
My original intention to donate proceeds from the sale of the MP3 to charity has 
been complicated by technical
 matters; therefore, I have decided to make the song available free of charge. 
I would like to request that after downloading the song from this page, 
you kindly donate directly to a charity or an organization dedicated to
 alleviate the suffering of the Palestinian people. Worthy of note is 
UNWRA (United Nations Relief and 
Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East), which has been 
helping Palestinian refugees since 
their dispossession in 1949. Please click here to donate through them:

Thank you for your continued encouragement of my work as a musician, for your 
purchases of my CD,
 and for spreading the song, the video and the message as you have been doing.
 I am grateful 
for every demonstration of support I have received from you, and for every thought
 and prayer that has gone to the people of Gaza.
Sincdrely,
Michael Heart
