LYRICS and Makaton translation:

VERSE 1

I know its hard when don't know the right thing
OK NO KNOW
So you do nothing at all
NOTHING
But when you smile
SMILE
I am less invisible
YOU SEE ME

VERSE 2

It might be easy to just keep Moving
EASY GO
And look the other way
LOOK? (Maybe could very literally sign to look right to the side??)
But when you smile
SMILE
you can brighten up both our days
VERY GOOD DAY

I am a walking misunderstanding
DIFFICULT UNDERSTAND
