Berikut ini pesan2 dari Michael Heart mengenai lagu ini :
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: 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

A blinding flash of white light
sebuah kilatan cahaya yang membabi buta
Lit up the sky over Gaza tonight
menerangi angkasa Gaza malam ini
People running for cover
orang-orang berlarian tidak menentu untuk berlindung
Not knowing whether they’re dead or alive
tanpa tau lagi apakah mereka hidup atau mati
They came with their tanks and their planes
para tentara datang dengan tank2 dan pesawat tempur mereka
With ravaging fiery flames
datang dengan kerusakan dan kobaran api2 yang meluap2
And nothing remains
dan tidak ada yang tersisa
Just a voice rising up in the smoky haze
hanya suara ( ledakan & senjata ) yang menggema di tengah kabut asap perang
We will not go down
kami tidak akan menyerah / kami tidak akan turun
In the night, without a fight
dalam kegelapan malam, tanpa sebuah pertarungan
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
Kamu dapat menghancurkan tempat2 ibadah, rumah dan sekolah kami
But our spirit will never die
tapi spirit kami tidak akan pernah mati
We will not go down
kami tidak akan menyerah
In Gaza tonight
di Gaza malam ini
Women and children alike
Perempuan dan anak-anak
Murdered and massacred night after night
dibunuh secara membabi buta dari malam ke malam
While the so-called leaders of countries afar
sementara para pemimpin terhormat dunia
Debated on who’s wrong or right
berdebat siapa yang benar dan siapa yang salah
But their powerless words were in vain
tapi kata-kata mereka tidak dapat mengubah keadaan
And the bombs fell down like acid rain
dan bom tetap berjatuhan seperti hujan deras
But through the tears and the blood and the pain
tetapi melalui tangisan dan darah kesakitan
You can still hear that voice through the smoky haze
kamu masih dapat mendengar suara di tengah kabut asap
We will not go down
kami tidak akan menyerah
In the night, without a fight
malam ini, tanpa sebuah perlawanan
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
Kamu dapat menghancurkan tempat2 ibadah, rumah dan sekolah kami
But our spirit will never die
tetapi spirit kami tidak akan pernah mati
We will not go down
kami tidak akan menyerah
In Gaza tonight
di Gaza malam ini
