Selain simbol Semangka, ternyata ada pula lagu penuh makna yang menjadi bentuk solidaritas untuk Palestina. Yakni, lagu ‘We Will Not Go Down (Gaza Tonight)’ merupakan sebuah karya yang dibawakan musisi kelahiran Suriah-Amerika Serikat, Michael Heart.

Lagu ‘We Will Not Go Down (Gaza Tonight)’ merepresentasikan latar belakang yang kuat sebagai bentuk dukungan terhadap rakyat Palestina yang tinggal di Jalur Gaza.

Berikut lirik lagu We Will Not Go Down (Gaza Tonight):

A blinding flash of white light
Lit up the sky over Gaza tonight
People running for cover
Not knowing whether theyÂ'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 whoÂ'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
