EXPLANATION OF THE GLOSSING SYSTEM
(to understand how I describe the signs in this translation).

||: WE WANT PRAISE MUSIC.
WE SING NEW, FOR-FOR?
WE WANT PRAISE MUSIC.
COME-ON JOIN-us US SING. :||

WE INVENT MUSIC NEW,
WE DON'T-MIND alt.DREAM.
WE INVENT MUSIC NEW.
WHY~NOT GO-AHEAD SING.

WE WANT PRAISE MUSIC.
WE SING NEW, FOR-FOR?
WE WANT PRAISE MUSIC.
COME-ON JOIN-us US SING.

MUSIC CHAMPION GOOD WE HUMAN KNOW.
HEAVEN WE TASTE BEFORE ARRIVE HOW? THROUGH MUSIC.

WE WANT PRAISE MUSIC.
WE SING NEW, FOR-FOR?
WE WANT PRAISE MUSIC.
COME-ON JOIN-us US SING.

WE WANT PRAISE MUSIC.
WE SING NEW, FOR-FOR?
WE WANT PRAISE MUSIC.


Notes: The signs between "||:" and ":||" are to be repeated.

COME-ON - (2h)[B^] move in circles pivoting at the wrists to beckon someone to do something.

JOIN-us - Looks like JOIN but the DH - inserted from the other side of the NDH.

GO-AHEAD - (2h)[B^ dot], POs ><, FOs away, move forward in a jerk.
