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: http://www.un.org/unrwa/
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.
Sincerely,
Michael Heart

WE WILL NOT GO DOWN (Song for Gaza)
(Composed 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 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
تقول ترجمة أغنية "لن نركع":
وميض من ضوءأبيض يعمي الأبصار
أضاء سماء غزة الليلة
يجري الناس طالبين الملاذ
لايعرفون إن كانوا موتى أم أحياء
جاءوا بدباباتهم وطائراتهم
ونيران ثائرةمدمرة
ولا شيء يبقى
سوى صوت من بين ضباب الدخان:
لن نركع
هذه الليلة.. دون قتال
يمكنكم حرق مساجدنا ومنازلنا ومدارسنا
لكن أروحنا لن تموت
لننركع
دون قتال.. في غزة الليلة..
النساء والأطفال
يُقتلون ويُذبحونليلة بعد ليلة
فيما يتجادل القادة المزعومون في بلاد بعيدة
بحثا عن المخطئوالمصيب
لكن كلماتهم العاجزة كانت بلا جدوى
وسقطت القنابل مثل المطرالحمضي
ولكن بين الدموع والدماء والألم
مازال يمكنك سماع هذا الصوت من بينضباب الدخان
لن نركع
هذه الليلة.. دون قتال
يمكنكم حرق مساجدناومنازلنا ومدارسنا
لكن أروحنا لن تموت
لن نركع
دون قتال.. في غزة الليلة.. www.moadkhayati.piczo.com
