Lyrics & [SIGNS]: I'm the strong one [I_STRONG] I'm not nervous [BRAVE] I'm as tough as the crust of the earth is [I_STRONG_WORLD] I move mountains [MOUNTAINS] I move churches [CHURCH] And I glow 'cause I know what my worth is [PROUD_KNOW_ME] I don't ask how hard the work is [NO_ASK_DIFFICULT] Got a rough, indestructible surface [BRAVE] Diamonds and platinum, I find 'em, I flatten 'em [HARD_FIND_SQUEEZE(1)] I take what I'm handed, I break what's demanded, but [TAKE_BREAK] Under the surface [FEEL] I feel berserk as a tightrope walker in a three-ring circus [CONFUSED_BALANCE_PERSON_CIRCUS] Under the surface [FEEL] Was Hercules ever like "Yo, I don't wanna fight Cerberus"? [H_NO_WANT_WAR_C] Under the surface [FEEL] I'm pretty sure I'm worthless if I can't be of service [THINK_UNIMPORTANT_NO_HELP] A flaw or a crack [BAD] The straw in the stack [STRAW] That breaks the camel's back [PAIN_CAMEL] What breaks the camel's back? [PAIN_CAMEL] It's pressure like a drip, drip, drip, that'll never stop, whoa [STRESSED_DRIP_NO_FINISH] Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip 'til you just go pop, whoa-uh-uh [STRESSED_POUR_FINISH] Give it to your sister, your sister's older [GIVE_SISTER_OLD] Give her all the heavy things we can't shoulder [GIVE_HEAVY_NO_CARRY] Who am I if I can't run with the ball? [WHO_I_NO_STRONG] If I fall to [LOSE] Pressure like a grip, grip, grip, and it won't let go, whoa [STRESSED_SQUEEZE(2)_NO_FINISH] Pressure like a tick, tick, tick 'til it's ready to blow, whoa-uh-uh [STRESSED_TIME(2)_FINISH] Give it to your sister, your sister's stronger [GIVE_SISTER_STRONG] See if she can hang on a little longer [CONTINUE_LONG] Who am I if I can't carry it all? [WHO_I_NO_STRONG] If I falter [LOSE] Under the surface [FEEL] I hide my nerves and it worsens, I worry something is gonna hurt us [NERVOUS_WORSE_WORRIED_PAIN] Under the surface [FEEL] The ship doesn't swerve as it heard how big the iceberg is [BOAT_BIG_ICEblock] Under the surface [FEEL] I think about my purpose [THINK_ME] Can I somehow preserve this? [SAVE] Line up the dominoes [LINEup] A light wind blows [WIND] You try to stop it tumbling [TRY_STOP] But on and on it goes [GO] But wait [STOP] If I could shake the crushing weight [I_FORGET_FORCE] Of expectations would that free some room up for joy? [WANT_FREE_LAUGH] Or relaxation? Or simple pleasure? [CALM_HAPPY] Instead we measure this growing pressure [MEASURE_GROW_TROUBLE] Keeps growing, keep going [GROW_CONTINUE] 'Cause all we know is [ALL_KNOW] Pressure like a drip, drip, drip that'll never stop, woah [STRESSED_DRIP_NO_FINISH] Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip 'til you just go pop, woah-oh-oh [STRESSED_POUR_FINISH] Give it to your sister, it doesn't hurt and [GIVE_SISTER_NO_PAIN] See if she can handle every family burden [SEE_HELP_FAMILY] Watch as she buckles and bends but never breaks [LOOK_STRUGGLE_NEVER_LOSE] No mistakes, just [NO_MISTAKE] Pressure like a grip, grip, grip, and it won't let go, woah [STRESSED_SQUEEZE(2)_NO_FINISH] Pressure like a tick, tick, tick 'til it's ready to blow, woah-oh-oh [STRESSED_TIME(2)_FINISH] Give it to your sister and never wonder [GIVE_SISTER_NEVER_THINK] If the same pressure would've pulled you under [SAME_STRESSED_PAIN_YOU] Who am I if I don't have what it takes? [WHO_I_NO_STRONG] No cracks, no breaks [NO_BAD_NO_LOSE] No mistakes [NO_MISTAKE] No pressure [NO_STRESSED] Makaton is a unique language programme that uses symbols, signs and speech to enable people to communicate and understand. Please visit the Makaton Charity Website: http://www.makaton.org for more information. I've been using Makaton signs since 2004, and am a Makaton Tutor. I began signing because I have several fostered and adopted siblings who use Makaton to communicate. I originally began making my videos to encourage them as they find it easier to learn new signs when it is fun. My family and I all love music! I hope you continue to enjoy my videos as much as I enjoy making them.
