Makaton - You've Got a Friend - Singing Hands

So today concludes #Week12 of #LockDownLearning at Singing Hands. This week is also #LDWeek2020 and the theme this year is #friendship.
We absolutely love signing songs about friendship, why not take a look at our Singing Hands Goes Pop DVD which is all about friendship, happiness and being there for each other. Here's the trailer:

Now as we cannot sing and sign with our friends together at the moment, here is something we've done remotely via Zoom with two fellow Makaton tutors - Nic Pike (Better Communication Bristol) and Kris Campbell. It's James Taylor's YOU'VE GOT A FRIEND. Enjoy!
Here's the Lyrics and Makaton Sign Transcription:
When you're down and troubled (SAD / WORRIED)
And you need a helping hand (NEED / HELP YOU)
And nothing, nothing is going right (NOTHING / NOTHING / OK)
Close your eyes and think of me (CLOSE EYES / THINK / ME)
And soon I will be there (SOON / THERE)
To brighten up even your darkest night (HELP YOU / HAPPY)
You just call out my name (SHOUT / MY / NAME)
And you know wherever I am (KNOW / I / HERE)
I'll come running, oh yeah baby, to see you again (RUN / SEE / YOU / AGAIN)
Winter, spring, summer or fall (WINTER / SPRING / SUMMER / AUTUMN)
All you've got to do is call (MUST / DO / SHOUT)
And I'll be there, ye, ye, ye (HELP / YOU)
You've got a friend (YOU / HAVE / FRIEND)
If the sky above you (SKY)
Should turn dark and full of clouds (DARK / CLOUDS)
And that old north wind should begin to blow (WIND)
Keep your head together (CONTINUE / CALM)
And call my name out loud now (SHOUT / NAME / LOUD)
Soon I’ll be knocking upon your door (gesture *KNOCK / DOOR)
You just call out my name (SHOUT / MY / NAME)
And you know wherever I am (KNOW / I / HERE)
I'll come running, oh yes I will, to see you again (RUN / SEE / YOU / AGAIN)
Winter, spring, summer or fall, ye (WINTER / SPRING / SUMMER / AUTUMN)
All you got to do is call (MUST / DO / SHOUT)
And I'll be there, ye, ye, yeah (HELP YOU)
Ain't it good to know that you've got a friend (GOOD / TO KNOW / YOU / HAVE / FRIEND)
When people can be so cold (PEOPLE / NASTY)
They'll hurt you, and desert you (ABUSE / GO)
Well they’ll take your soul if you let them, (TAKE *MOVE SIGN AWAY FROM SELF / SOUL / ALLOW)
oh yeah, don't you let 'em now (NO / ALLOW)
You just call out my name (SHOUT / MY / NAME)
And you know wherever I am (KNOW / I / HERE)
I'll come running to see you again, oh baby, don't you know ‘ bout (RUN / SEE / YOU / AGAIN)
Winter, spring, summer or fall (WINTER / SPRING / SUMMER / AUTUMN)
Hey now, all you have to do is call (MUST / DO / SHOUT)
Lord I'll be there, yes I will (HELP YOU)
You've got a friend (YOU / HAVE / FRIEND)
You've got a friend, yeah (YOU / HAVE FRIEND)
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend (GOOD / KNOW / YOU HAVE FRIEND)
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend (GOOD / KNOW / YOU / HAVE /FRIEND)
Oh, ye yeah, you've got a friend (YES / YOU / HAVE / FRIEND)
