Makaton - WHAT I AM - Singing Hands

We love this fun song previously performed by Will.I.am on Sesame Street - it's just got fantastic lyrics about how brilliant you all are and some great signing concepts in there to learn too. In terms of the signing, we've kept most of it CORE and as simple as possible. Enjoy!
Will I Am & Sesame Street Cover Version - What I Am (Makaton Translation by Singing Hands)
If what I am is what's in me (I / ME)
Then I'll stay strong - that's who I'll be (STRONG)
And I will always be the best (ALWAYS / BEST)
"me" that I can be (ME)
There's only one me, I am it (ONLY / ONE / ME)
Have a dream I'll follow it (DREAM)
It's up to me to try (ME / TRY)
[Chorus 1]
Oh! I'mma keep my head up high (PROUD)
Keep on reaching high (DO / BEST)
Never gonna quit (NO / STOP)
I'll keep getting stronger (STRONG)
And nothing's gonna bring me down (NO / SAD)
Never gonna stop, gotta go (NO / STOP / GO)
Because I know (KNOW)
I'll keep getting stronger (STRONG)
[Bridge 1]
And what I am is thoughtful (I / KIND)
What I am is musical (I / MUSIC)
What I am is smart (I / CLEVER)
And what I am is brave (I / BRAVE)
What I am is helpful ( I / HELP)
What I am is special (I / SPECIAL)
There's nothing I can't achieve (WIN)
Because in myself I believe in (oh)... (BELIEVE)
[Chorus 2]
Gonna keep our heads up high
Keep on reaching high
Never gonna quit
Just keep getting stronger
And nothing's gonna bring us down
Never give it up, gotta go
Because I know
I'll keep getting stronger
[Bridge 2]
What I am is super (I / GOOD *2 THUMBS)
What I am is proud ( I / PROUD)
What I am is friendly (I / FRIEND)
