**Please read this before commenting** Yes, I AM aware this is not true ASL. I filmed this a long time ago when I first learned to sign, so I know it's not perfect. Thank you SO much to everyone who has given positive/constructive feedback. I've gotten so many awesome comments and messages about this video, including some great questions about Sign Language and Deaf culture. I'm overjoyed to see that it's touched so many lives and blessed so many hearts. I know many of you want a how-to guide, but unfortunately I do not have a working camera, nor the time to film one. If I ever do, I'll make it a priority. Thanks again for your kind words! God bless!! -Jen

Me doing "Give Me Your Eyes" by Brandon Heath in American Sign Language. There are some pictures thrown in too. Some are a tiny bit graphic and sad to go along with my interpretation of the song, but they get happier I promise.
I spent a lot of time on this video, so please let me know what you think! This is pretty hard to sign, haha...a lot of signs and it's super fast! =)
God bless!

Here are the lyrics:
Looked down from a broken sky
Traced out by the city lights
My world from a mile high
Best seat in the house tonight
Touched down on the cold black top
Hold on for the sudden stop
Breathe in the familiar shock
Of confusion and chaos
All those people going somewhere,
Why have I never cared?
Chorus:
Give me Your eyes for just one second
Give me Your eyes so I can see
Everything that I keep missing
Give me Your love for humanity
Give me Your arms for the broken hearted
Ones that are far beyond my reach
Give me Your heart for the ones forgotten
Give me Your eyes so I can see
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Step out on a busy street
See a girl and our eyes meet
Does her best to smile at me
To hide what's underneath
There's a man just to her right
Black suit and a bright red tie
Too ashamed to tell his wife
He's out of work
He's buying time
All those people going somewhere
Why have I never cared?
Chorus
I've been there a million times
A couple of million eyes
Just moving past me by
I swear I never thought that I was wrong
Well I want a second glance
So give me a second chance
To see the way You see the people all along
Chorus (x2)
