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
