Lyrics:
Everybody wants a piece of some easy enterprise.
Can't this world cut your face,
and carry the news
that you've got a gift to be given?
Cut it out, cut your loss
we don't dream, we fantasize.
And this is how we measure the cost,
the joy and the pain,
the twenty-one years of good living.

(Chorus)
When you look at me do you see someone with a future?
Music to my ears it makes me happy when you tell me
This place is like a womb you live so well from doing nothing.
One day you will learn there is some beauty in the thing that makes you sweat.

Gonna take something great just to get me out of bed.
And I woke up with a start
'cause I had a dream
Yes, I had a vision of people lying in the sun,
Sleeping under rocks and stones,
Waiting just to die.
They were just fast asleep like lions,
They were just fast asleep like lions in summer.

Chorus

Swear all the years of wasted time.
Half divine, half of what you could be.
All this time they let this city
Get sad and empty, cause they're only half awake.
Oh, all this time they let this city
Get sad and empty, cause they're only half awake.

When you look at me do you see someone with a future?
One day you will learn there is some beauty in the thing that makes you sweat.

Thanks for watching!!

When I go on sites like Omegle, if someone asks me for my ASL, I link them to this.

@Cosmopanda Thank you!

I was just wanting to hear this song, I'm glad I watched the video. I've seen a lot of people signing at concerts, and never this beautifully. Absolutely exceptional, magnificent work.

@lithiumburrito Thank you so much!

I am just starting to learn ASL so I don't know, but are these ASL signs with english grammar? This is probably the only song on youtube that is signed that is good. As I look to the right side all I see in ASL is Burnin Up by the Jonas brothers. You should do more songs.

@jackcanthink Hi! Yes, these are signs with a lot of English grammar, though I do think some of it is ASL grammar. When I made this video I hadn't ever taken any ASL classes and everything I knew was from the internet, so my grammar was/is pretty bad.

If you are looking for a good signer do a search on Youtube for CaptainValor/ ASL Stephen. (I tried to link but YT wouldn't let me.) He really knows his stuff and does some great work.

Thank you for the compliments and encouragement!
