Hey, everyone. My name is Tally. I'm here with Anya the ukulele and an original song
that I wrote for February Album Writing Month. This song is about the ABC Family show Switched
at Birth, um, in which many of the characters are deaf, which is why I'm attempting the
whole sign language thing. Um, anyway, it's about these two girls who
were switched at birth, and, one of them, Bay, is whose point of view this song is from.
And, uh, anyway, I hope you enjoy it. Oh, and it's called Looking for a Sign. And I...
Now, I hope you enjoy it. Enjoy it? Maybe? Okay. Yes? No? Okay.

Who am I? I'm so confused. Spent my life in someone's shoes
Who I am isn't who I was supposed to be. If you are me, and I am you
What are we supposed to do? Because I've grown kind of fond of being me
There has to be some reason why That everyday has been a lie
Everything is upside down Everything is switched around
And I'm looking for a sign That says why everything that was mine is
yours And why everything yours is mine
I can't figure it out yet How two worlds connect
It seems so random, yet perfect all the same We didn't win, we didn't lose
And now there's no way I could choose How different would I be with another name?
There has to be some reason why That everyday has been a lie
Everything is upside down Everything is switched around
And I'm looking for a sign That says why everything that was mine is
yours And why everything yours is mine
Sometimes I wish I didn't know Didn't wonder how my life would go
If we hadn't been through all of this But there's no way I could go back
And put my life on another track Because there's too many people I would miss
There has to be some reason why That everyday has been a lie
Everything is upside down Everything is switched around
And I'm looking for a sign That says why everything that was mine is
yours And why everything yours is mine
If I was Daphne and you were Bay If life had gone the right way
Honestly, I'd be remiss If I said I wished our crazy mixed up switched
up family didn't exist
There has to be some reason why That everyday has been a lie
Everything is upside down Everything is switched around
And I'm looking for a sign That says why everything that was mine is
yours And why everything yours is mine
So, anyway, that is my song for Switched at Birth. Um, I was actually going to do, like,
the whole thing, like, singing and in sign language, but I was way too chicken to try
that. Um, I really don't know a whole lot of sign language.
But, anyway, um, you should check out Switched at Birth, because it's amazing. Uh, thanks
for watching and I hope you enjoyed it. Bye.
