Pertama kali mendengar lagunya Michael Heart yang judulnya "We Will Not Go Down" di TVOne, saya sedikit terhenyak. Kok ada lagu berbahasa inggris yang peduli sama masjid, sekolah dan semuanya di Gaza yang dihancurkan oleh Zionis. Liriknya juga menyentuh banget. Langsung deh inisiatif buat mencari lagunya.... eh ternyata bisa diunduh secara bebas oleh Michael Heart ini (www.michaelheart.com/Song_for_Gaza.html) dengan catatan untuk memberi donasi ke lembaga-lembaga amal untuk Palestina.
Baca di detiknews, ternyata Michael adalah kelahiran Syria, sebuah negara tetangga Palestina, dengan nama aslinya adalah Annas Allaf. Pantas kalau dia begitu peduli, terlepas dari apapun agama yang dianutnya.Berikut ini lirik lagu Michael Heart "We Will Not Go Down": (silahkan sambil mainkan gitarmu...)
WE WILL NOT GO DOWN (Song for Gaza)
(Composed by Michael Heart)
Intro: Am Am Am Am
Am C
A blinding flash of white light
G Am
Lit up the sky over Gaza tonight
Am C
People running for cover
G Am
Not knowing whether they’re dead or alive
Dm Am
They came with their tanks and their planes
Dm Am
With ravaging fiery flames
Dm F
And nothing remains
C G
Just a voice rising up in the smoky haze
F C
We will not go down
Am G
In the night, without a fight
F C
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
Am G
But our spirit will never die
Am G
We will not go down
Am
In Gaza tonight
Am C
Women and children alike
G Am
Murdered and massacred night after night
Am C
While the so-called leaders of countries afar
G Am
Debated on who’s wrong or right
Dm Am
But their powerless words were in vain
Dm Am
And the bombs fell down like acid rain
G Am
But through the tears and the blood and the pain
C Em
You can still hear that voice through the smoky haze
F C
We will not go down
Am G
In the night, without a fight
F C
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
Am G
But our spirit will never die
Am G
We will not go down
Am
In Gaza tonight
F C
We will not go down
Am G
In the night, without a fight
F C
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
Am G
But our spirit will never die
F C
We will not go down
Am G
In the night, without a fight
Am G
We will not go down
Am
In Gaza tonight
