Lyrics:
You're feeling nervous, aren't you, boy?
With your quiet voice and impeccable style
Don't ever let them steal your joy
And your gentle ways
To keep 'em from running wild
They can kick dirt in your face
Dress you down, and tell you that your place
Is in the middle, when they hate the way you shine
I see you tugging on your shirt
Trying to hide inside of it
And hide how much it hurts
Let 'em laugh while they can
Let 'em spin, let 'em scatter in the wind
I have been to the movies, I've seen how it ends
And the joke's on them
You get discouraged, don't you, girl?
It's your brother's world for a while longer
We gotta dance with the devil on a river
To beat the stream
Call it living the dream, call it kicking the ladder
They come to kick dirt in your face
To call you weak and then displace you
After carrying your baby on your back across the desert
I saw your eyes behind your hair
And you're looking tired, but you don't look scared
Let 'em laugh while they can
Let 'em spin, let 'em scatter in the wind
I have been to the movies, I've seen how it ends
And the joke's on them
Let 'em laugh while they can
Let 'em spin, let 'em scatter in the wind
I have been to the movies, I've seen how it ends
And the joke's on them
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

I'm a School Counselor and used this video as part of a Social Emotional Lesson for Middle School this morning. Tough crowd. This video is absolutely disarming and powerful. It has a great representation of ages and cultures/skin tones that is inclusive and reaches the empathy even Middle Schoolers can access.

It’s 1:30am in Texas right now. I’m laying on the couch in tears feeling like a failure as mother. My precious son is 9. He’s autistic and he’s perfect in my eyes. He’s curled up at my feet. It’s the closest he’s come near me lately. I see so much beauty in him. I can see the world through his big blue eyes. But I also see his pain. And I see the way the world looks at him. This song. This perfectly written string of words fills my heart with hope. It feels me with power. I sing your music daily and just finished your audio book. When it was over my heart broke a bit. It was if , for awhile I was hearing a friend talk to me about their life. It made me feel less alone. I just want to say thank you for your words. For your voice. For sharing your soul with us.

Your son is a blessing and sadly others cannot see the gift God has given you" to raise and care for everyday.. He is so blessed to have you as his mother and God will give you strength in those times that it gets hard in your Lives. in the name of Jesus Christ his son .. May the good Lord always watch over you and your son ...

It used to break my heart until I realized she shows her love in different ways. You are a great mother the fact that you worry that you are not ,just shows that you are a great mother.

Do you share it with a certain kind of client? I'm having a hard time understanding the reasoning behind showing it to them. Is it the "the joke's on them" line? Is it about bullying maybe? Or is it "I've seen how it ends". Is it to tell them it will all be okay in the end? Sorry if I come across ignorant, I just want to understand :)

It is scary, and yes, it is lonely. Life has so many ups and downs. But I am determined to try. I was a strong, energetic and creative person when I was young and lost most of that the past few years, but I want to try and find some of that in me still. I hope you also find the best in you soon too. Warmest wishes.

To the young people watching this video and listening to this song, REMEMBER THIS. The bullies are ALWAYS more miserable than you. They are broken, sad, lonely and empty, and the only thing that makes them feel better is to try to make YOU as miserable as THEM with their ugly words and actions. Keep fighting through the tears and you will come out on the other side more strong and confident and beautiful than you could ever imagine. You are worth the fight ❤❤❤❤

Kind of sad that you have to get on the internet and search up gems like this just to listen to it. Been a fan of Brandi since i was a kid. Always hoped and wished she'd blow up like Taylor Swift, can't say I'm disappointed that she didn't. But she does deserve much more recognition.

As a Christian, I believe all Christians need to listen to this and hear her words. We are too judgemental and aren't the loving people the Lord commands us to be. We are to love one another. That is a complete sentence/command, there is no "except for" at the end. To those that feel judged and are hurting, you are loved just as you are. Others don't define you nor have been given any authority to judge you. Don't catch their ball of hate when thrown at you. You are worthy ❤️

When I first heard this, I felt like she was singing directly to me, to that part of me that I've forgotten about, to the scared little boy who still wants someone to tell him he's okay just the way his, that it's okay to be sad and scared but that he doesn't have to be any more. Thank you, Brandi Carlile.

Her performance at the Grammys yesterday made me tear up. I've felt so empty my whole life, alone in a world made for other people but in some point I found where I belonged. However, music is so important and what this song brings up to me is that we all deserve a space where we feel free to be ourselves, not just what we were meant to be but our true and imperfect selves.

I listen to this song regularly on my commute to work, and while I do housework it comes on my automatic playlists. I can’t count how many times I’ve heard it. I cry every time she gets to the part where she says “they displace you after carrying your baby on your back across the desert”. I’ll never come close to feeling what that must be like. I was born in America. My parents were not fleeing from anything. The rest of the song resonates with me as a disabled person, as a queer person, and as a woman. And that part always makes me just feel so much like I want to send kisses and hugs and good fortune to anybody in that situation- and so sorry that I cannot help. I hope anybody who is trying to win a better life for their children is met with victory. I’m not a religious person, but that line in this song really does make me pray to the universe that anybody who has carried their child on their back across the desert enjoys every good thing life has to offer after they end up where they want to be.

And, of course, watch it and listen to it again. And again. It was a delight to read Brandi's kind remarks about Rita today (wfuv.org/content/rita-houston-apostle-artistry), including the mention that Rita was the first person to play Brandi's music on the radio. That speaks volumes to Rita's insight, talent, spirit and grace . . . that she so quickly recognized, embraced and supported outstanding musical artists like Brandi Carlile.
