Lyrics:

Hands off Syria ~ Hands off Iran
Hands off Afghanistan ~ Hands off Palestine
Hey governments, Stop killing our friends...

Hands off Africa
Hands off all the gold
Hands off all the oil
We know what you want

Hey governments, we love each other, we're connected and we're saying stop killing our friends

We are peaceful and we just wanna be free, everyone I know is crying, crying everyday

All we are saying is, what we are saying is, all that we're saying is: Stop killing our friends

Stop killing our friends in Baghdad, Beirut and Gaza
We want to hear the sound of children's laughter ringing through the plaza
Your mean bombs and your cheap shots
Your demonic media and your rotten thoughts
Could never stop us from being alive and in love!

We are Alive and in Love

Hands off Africa
Hands off all the gold
Hands off all the oil
We know what you want

If only everyone understood what they actually want, we would have had a strong voice of dissent. They could not lie to us if they there was no body who believed in them. There are people who trust them that's why they are able to lie to them. There are people blinded by hate. This is why they are able to convince them for war. If only those who don't, considered the people of these countries as human, we would not have had this people suffering in-front of our eyes.

You are so right, thank you for voicing yourself here @themobilewriter, I hope many read your words!

@lyndsaybowes, That's amazing production giving to society. Appreciated work done by @davidfar and you. I watched these twice and took serious imagine. Yep...USA every time gonna try to control every states via his power. They attacked against some middle east and Asian countries. As my opinions, died massive civil humans, not only soldiers.
Stop killing our friends giving huge message to government and they must need to think this moment and stop every war activities. Take a decision under the One nation, one world concept.
Video introduction awesome with added real scenes. Your voice very powerful of this song and definitely needed. Congrats you're winning finally with incredible creativity.

You are such a force to be reckoned with Lyds....I love how you love. <3 This song brings me to tears. Every. Time. You and @davidfar created something so amazing. The impact the video has is incredible, it adds a whole new level to the music and vocals. I love all of the personal messages...the whole message is there. It is simple....Stop killing our friends!! We are alive and in love <3
So much love to you and yours. Thank you all xoxo <3 <3 <3

So much love for you too Sis, thank you for always supporting our creativity! <3 <3 <3

@lyndsaybowes I really appreciate your efforts in making a music video for the awareness cause regarding peace and love.
It's we the citizens of every nation can pressurize our respective governments in making effective policies for peace of the world.
This journey isn't easy it requires great support to make it successful,because the political parties are dividing us into sects over nationalism,patriarchy,or puzzling us on religious lines,and people prey by the governments resulting into hatred against perticular people.it may be on religion,cast ,color,citizen of another country.
We need to emphasis on the life of a human which is far important than a piece of land,some kind of reserve that benifit economically,these things may give some kind of luxury but if anything that takes blood of any human cannot bring peace and serenity to the oppressor also.

There is more that unites us, than ever could divide us <3 Thank you for your wise and passionate words @imanwaar!

YEAH you guys, this is awesome!!! I love it! The only kind of bombs we need are truthbombs like this one! 💙💛💚💜

Love that Phe!! <3 <3 <3 <3 hahahaa :) :) :) :) :) :) Good one!

This was absolutely fantastic, great job all!

Thank you so much brother

Thanks for watching/listening lk666 <3 <3 I'm glad you liked it so!

strong images, fantastic lyrics, emotional and mesmerizing

Thanks for watching @torico <3 I'm glad it affected you.

Wow. Really nice sounding song, powerful message and well produced. Thanks for creating.

Thank you very much for listening @soundwavesphoton!

@lyndsaybowes This song is A beautiful piece of heaven. This song makes me sad. Like wtf why do they do such things? don't they see we don't like wars we don't like to see bloodshed. "We are peaceful and we just wanna be free, everyone I know is crying, crying everyday" everyone who lives here is tired of all this. It's high time we should stand against all the atrocities mankind has suffered.

Thank you so much for having eyes to see, and a compassionate heart <3 <3 <3 It's the ones like you that give me hope for Humanity <3

Eee getting the headphones on before I watch this!

Its BEAUTIFUL @lyndsaybowes and @davidfar! Had me bawling over here. Shivers.
Thank you for sending out this message Lyndsay. Your heart is so big, we can all learn so much from you.
I love you from the bottom of my heart, keep sharing these truths and inspiring people to do better, you are a real human angel.
Stop Killing Our Friends!

Honestly I say, my heart is very touched when hearing this song. They killed all our families in Syria, Iran, Afghanistan, Palestine, Africa, and Myanmar. and I want to say to all the rulers of the state what do you think of when we see our brothers slaughtered, where is your power hand to help your brother who is being massacred unceasingly, are you blind already, are you afraid of their power? . You need to know O ruler, god is omniscient and god is omniscient over all things. May God condemn you for what you have done to our brethren. It hurts to see the world silent only when our Muslim people are massacred by people who are thirsty for wealth. Thanks to my best friend @lyndsaybowes who has made this song. May God repay your kindness.

Thank you so much for raising your voice in TRUTH and Peace. Much Love and respect I have for you @sanu.

Great work Lyndsay. Really enjoyed the song'/video. Not much I can add to the other comments here except to say that both you and your husband are both living and being the change you want to see in the world and the example you are setting for your children and anyone else who takes the time to watch or listen is inspriational. If there were more like you there would be no need for music videos such as this to me made.

Keep fighting the good fight !!!

Thank you for your awesome comment Jim, and thank you sooooo much for sending in your awesome sign <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 I love seeing you in this!!!!!

Sweet Lyndsay!!! I am so proud of youuu! For bringing this project to fruition! And, some sweet beautiful juciy fruit it is!!!!
💜💙💚💛❤ tears this is amazing! Wow....hands off our friends. #nomorewar

We Are Alive & In LOVE 🙏

Thank you for all the support and encouragement through the years Jill, I love you SiSTAR!!

Likewise 🎉

Today there is so much violence, so many wars, deaths that take away a huge number of people's lives. Children perish all over the world because of the abhorrent policies of many countries, from cruelty, inhumanity and indifference. Thank you that there are people who have a heart and compassion for the tragedy of strangers, regardless of their religions and traditions.

Thank you for your big heart, and using your voice to speak out against these terrible actions. Much Love @maxdani.

to what world do they not see the suffering of our brother to where the union of the nation do not they have power.we just pray @lyndsaybowes

Stop killing our friends in Baghdad, Beirut and Gaza
We want to hear the sound of children's laughter ringing through the plaza
Your mean bombs and your cheap shots
Your demonic media and your rotten thoughts
Could never stop us from being alive and in love!
We are Alive and in Love <3

Thank you, dear.
Seeing this video made my tears drip,,
I continue to imagine the lives of Palestinian children, I am very sorry to see them.
I imagine when the bombs hit their tiny bodies, and also as they cry for losing their parents .. Oh God
embed the brand .. we need peace on this earth in order to see again their beautiful smile. 😟😢

Thank you for feeling the song in your heart. We love you SiSTAR!! <3

I don't know what else to say this you @lyndaybowes, because you very concerned with peace, and lyrics again in this video is fabulous and good, I am very proud to have a friend like you, let's struggling with be peace in Syria and Palestine.thank you infinite also to a friend who has worked for the sake of peace and help the manufacture of this song, such as; @lyndsaybowes, @hendrixx22, @davidfar, @eddiebowes, @amymya.

Thank you @musliwadi, I'm so glad to have a friend like you too <3

both my friends @lyndsaybowes, friends not only there when we are happy, but also there when we have problems, thans you have helped me a lot, you are a very good friend lyndsaybowes. I miss your smile and your joy always.

Powerful stuff!
May peace be achieved on Earth in our lifetime.
🙏🏽
I'd like to add Tibet as well as all the first nations people of the world (Australian Aboriginal people, Native American people, the Sami people, the native tribes throughout that Amazon, etc) who's plight for freedom, for a treaty and for acknowledgement never get the media coverage (not even in alternative media) that the Middle East always gets, yet their struggle is real and also needs our concern, compassion and support.

We don't forget the indigenous, our last song was for their plight. I live in so-called 'canada' where the genocide, the holocaust against the indigenous is still covered up to this day. It infuriates me!!

IMG_20180301_110703.jpg
Thanks you @lyndsaybowes.. i am very touched , we hope and we pray that they are all there always in the protection of god .. amiiin

Thanks for listening, and amen to your words @au7ia <3

Wow LB you really shined like the diamond you are! I loved it all no doubt, but your vocals really killed it and sounded fantastic! Great job to all involved and congratulations!

I'm glad you liked the video Michael! <3 <3 <3

This song reminds me of events in Palestine,
Palestinian children, Palestinian State in mash.
I'm sure if human beings have a conscience and compassion would not do such a thing.
thanks for this song @lyndsaybowes
good luck uphumanangel !!

Feels like talking to a brick wall doesn't it? Wish it were different. Greetings!

All we can do is keep trying @onnovocks <3

hiii my friend @lyndsaybowes, I agreed with you and appreciated your efforts.
