EXPLANATION OF THE GLOSSING SYSTEM

Notes: TIME-PERIOD - [T], PO > NDS, FO up, travels in a vertical plane parallel to the NDH and makes contact with NDH [B], PO > DS, FO away. For a QuickTime file of this sign, see ASL Pro: Period - Time.
HON.-INDEX - Underlined words are honorific indices ("indexes"), using the FT of the upturned palm to indicate who is being honored.
IDEA~LIKE - a blending where IDEA has a [Y] instead of an [I] in anticipation of LIKE which is signed smoothly right afterwards.
LATER++ - [L], PO away, FO up, nods at wrist, moving forward a little and then repeats this movement twice.
#ALL-OF-US - [A], PO > NDS, FO up touches DS shoulder then [L^], PO > signer touches NDS shoulder.
SCADS-OF - (2h)[5:], POs down, FOs away, move forward to show many beings.
body-SHINY - SHINY - (2h)[open 8], POs > body, FOs away, twist rapidly at wrists while moving away.
The signs between "||:" and ":||" are to be repeated.
star-TWINKLE - (2h)[5^], POs awaqy, FOs up, flutter the fingers while separately slowly.
Lyrics:
I sing the body electric
I celebrate the me yet to come
I toast to my own reunion
When I become one with the sun
And I'll look back on Venus, I'll look back on Mars
And I'll burn with the fire of ten million stars
And in time, and in time, we will all be stars
I sing the body electric
I glory in the glow of rebirth
Creating my own tomorrow
When I shall embody the earth
And I'll serenade Venus, I'll serenade Mars
And I'll burn with the fire of ten million stars
And in time, and in time, we will all be stars
We are the emperors now, and we are the czars
And in time, and in time, we will all be stars
I sing the body Electric
I celebrate the me yet to come
I toast to my own reunion my own reunion
When I become one with the sun
And I'll look back on Venus, I'll look back on Mars
I'll burn with the fire of ten million stars
And in time, and in time, and in time, and in time
And in time, and in time, we will all be stars
