Makaton - YOU GOTTA BE - Singing Hands

Описание: Here's another classic from 1994 by Des'ree that we learnt to sign in our #Makaton Signing #Choir back in 2023 - full of inspirational, motivational language. Enjoy!

Listen as your day unfolds (LISTEN)
Challenge what the future holds (CHANGE / FUTURE)
Try and keep your head up to the sky (TRY / PROUD)
Lovers, they may cause you tears (RELATIONSHIP / CRY)
Go ahead, release your fears (STOP / FRIGHTENED)
Stand up and be counted (BRAVE)
Don't be ashamed to cry (NO / SHAME / CRY)

You gotta be (BE)
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser (BRAVE / CONFIDENT / CLEVER)
You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger (STRONG)
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, you gotta stay together (CALM)
All I know, all I know, love will save the day (KNOW / LOVE / WIN)

Herald what your mother said (LISTEN / MOTHER / TALK)
Read the books your father read (BOOK / FATHER)
Try to solve the puzzles in your own sweet time (TRY / INDEPENDENT)
Some may have more cash than you (PEOPLE / MONEY)
Others take a different view (THINK / DIFFERENT)
My oh my, eh, eh, eh

You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser (BRAVE / CONFIDENT / CLEVER)
You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger (STRONG)

All I know, all I know, love will save the day (KNOW / LOVE / WIN)

Time asks no questions, it goes on without you (TIME / CONTINUE)
Leaving you behind if you can't stand the pace (LEAVE)
The world keeps on spinning (CONTINUE)
Can’t stop it if you try to (NO /STOP)
The best part is danger staring you in the face, oh (ie. take RISK)

Remember, listen as your day unfolds (REMEMBER / LISTEN)
Challenge what the future holds (CHANGE /FUTURE)
