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

1, 5. PEACE FLOW-forward IDEA~LIKE RIVER'expand' FROM (2h)YOU AND FROM ME. SPREAD, ENTER DESERT. MEAN OPPRESSED NOW FREE.

2. Replace first sign with L-O-V-E.

3. Replace first sign with HEAL+.

4. ||: (8x) ALLELUIA. :||


Notes: FLOW-forward - (2h)[4], POs down, FOs ><, NDH is held closer to body, both hands swivel forward 2x.

IDEA~LIKE - a blending where IDEA has a [Y] instead of an [I] in anticipation of LIKE which is signed smoothly right afterwards.

RIVER'expand' - What I mean is you can make the ripples of the river a little more poetic to fill the time.

(2h)YOU - Underlined words are honorific indices ("indexes"), using the FT of the upturned palm to indicate who is being honored.

OPPRESSED - DH [B], PO down, FO > NDS, pushs down on [S], PO > DS, FO away, which is held against chest.

ALLELUIA! - CLAP-HANDS~CELEBRATE + open hands into (2h)[5] while lifting.

Lyrics:

1, 5. Peace is flowing like a river, flowing out of you and me. Flowing out into the desert, setting all the captives free.

2. Love is flowing like a river, flowing out of you and me. Flowing out into the desert, setting all the captives free.

3. Healing's flowing like a river, flowing out of you and me. Flowing out into the desert, setting all the captives free.

4. ||: (8x) Alleluia. :||
