@DavidFar has worked incredibly hard producing this song, which started off as a solo acoustic I had written years ago. With all of the artwork and photos you beautiful Steemians have sent to us from this call to action, we have managed to make a very heartfelt and moving video. Thank you for believing in our song.

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!
