3
00:00:25,659 --> 00:00:28,662
? When I was just
a little girl ?

4
00:00:28,729 --> 00:00:32,299
? I'd go outside
and listen to the wind ?

5
00:00:36,503 --> 00:00:40,307
? I thought it held
all my secrets within ?

6
00:00:46,046 --> 00:00:49,616
? Peering out of my window
gave me hope ?

7
00:00:55,656 --> 00:00:59,793
? There was something out there
meant for me ?

8
00:01:04,031 --> 00:01:09,703
? I'd see the clouds roll by and
the leaves blow down my street ?

9
00:01:13,540 --> 00:01:18,345
? I wondered if it'd take my
dreams and set them free ?

10
00:01:23,684 --> 00:01:25,919
? And I tell it to the wind

11
00:01:32,860 --> 00:01:35,529
? Oh, and I tell it
to the wind ?

12
00:01:43,737 --> 00:01:48,075
? So now and then
I think about that little girl ?

13
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:58,151
? And how she knew so much
about her little world ?

14
00:02:03,590 --> 00:02:07,160
? But there is wisdom
in a child's eyes ?

15
00:02:08,962 --> 00:02:11,965
? And when her world
grew in size ?

16
00:02:13,333 --> 00:02:17,671
? It wasn't always
what she thought it would be ?

17
00:02:21,642 --> 00:02:26,113
? But as I travel back and forth
to distant lands ?

18
00:02:31,118 --> 00:02:36,123
? I know the wind still takes me
further than I planned ?

19
00:02:41,128 --> 00:02:43,597
? And so I tell it to the wind

20
00:02:50,971 --> 00:02:53,640
? Oh, and I tell it
to the wind ?

21
00:02:59,346 --> 00:03:02,816
? Ooh, I tell it
everything I hope for ?

22
00:03:09,489 --> 00:03:13,493
? And I tell it everything
my heart desires ?

23
00:03:20,267 --> 00:03:22,736
? And everything I dream of

24
00:03:30,177 --> 00:03:33,313
? And everything
that I aspire to ?

25
00:03:41,288 --> 00:03:43,190
? I tell it to the wind

26
00:03:49,630 --> 00:03:52,299
? Oh, and I tell it
to the wind ?

27
00:04:00,007 --> 00:04:01,909

I try to bring
my heart to wherever I go.

35
00:04:44,451 --> 00:04:46,220
Yes, I'm a singer-songwriter,

36
00:04:46,286 --> 00:04:48,455
and I want people
to sing with me,

37
00:04:48,522 --> 00:04:51,925
and I want to, I want people
to be free to clap and to dance

38
00:04:51,992 --> 00:04:53,460
and to snap as well.

39

you know,
you can hear a pin drop.

41
00:04:56,630 --> 00:04:59,266
I want to bring
all those parts of myself

42
00:04:59,333 --> 00:05:01,969

hopefully be welcomed in.

And for the past three years,

I've been seeing my friends
and making new friends,

and it's like, oh,
we see each other again,

112
00:09:50,390 --> 00:09:52,726
and we take pictures,
and you just make memories.

113

So it's a place to come together

114

a really soft place to land.

and all that stuff.

176
00:15:56,757 --> 00:16:02,429
And when she got wind of that,
she would come down the hallway,

177
00:16:03,497 --> 00:16:06,800
and we would hear her slippers,
and it'd be, "chh, chh, chh."

178
00:16:06,867 --> 00:16:09,069
And we'd start,
"Oh, she coming, she coming."

179
00:16:09,136 --> 00:16:10,771
And she'd come in the room

180
00:16:10,838 --> 00:16:13,073
and she'd say, "Y'all,
y'all get your lesson.

181
00:16:13,140 --> 00:16:15,976
Go get your lesson,
get your lesson."

182
00:16:16,043 --> 00:16:20,314
And when I was grieving,
and I was writing with Margaret,

183
00:16:20,380 --> 00:16:22,783
and I was just telling her
those stories,

184
00:16:22,850 --> 00:16:26,587
and I had this blues riff that
I didn't know where it went to.

185
00:16:26,653 --> 00:16:29,089
And then once we started
working on this song,

186
00:16:29,156 --> 00:16:31,992
I knew exactly
what the riff was for,

187
00:16:32,059 --> 00:16:35,295
and it was for my grandmother,
Catherine Johnson.

188
00:16:35,362 --> 00:16:38,498
And this song is called
"Lesson."

189
00:16:39,233 --> 00:16:43,170
? Ah, ooh
[bluesy electric guitar music]

190
00:16:43,237 --> 00:16:44,905
? Ah, ooh

191
00:16:47,341 --> 00:16:49,009
? Ah, ooh

192
00:16:51,211 --> 00:16:52,880
? Ah, ooh

193
00:16:55,716 --> 00:16:57,384
? Ah, ooh

194
00:16:58,051 --> 00:16:59,586
If you could hold that down
for me.

195
00:16:59,653 --> 00:17:00,754
? Ah, ooh

196
00:17:00,821 --> 00:17:02,723
Feel free to sing it.

197
00:17:03,390 --> 00:17:05,058
? Ah, ooh

198
00:17:07,427 --> 00:17:09,096
? Ah, ooh

199
00:17:10,531 --> 00:17:14,334
? Sitting at the table
pouring out my day ?

200
00:17:18,105 --> 00:17:22,676
? At the feet of an angel,
she knew just what to say ?

201
00:17:26,180 --> 00:17:30,317
? Eyes that knew freedom
and sorrows unsaid ?

202
00:17:34,121 --> 00:17:37,257
? But she breathed out
her wisdom ?

203
00:17:37,891 --> 00:17:40,227
? And here's what she said

204
00:17:41,962 --> 00:17:46,533
? She told me to be grateful,
she told me to be kind ?

205
00:17:49,536 --> 00:17:53,340
? She told me to stand up
for what is right ?

206
00:17:56,643 --> 00:17:59,546
? Said there's
a time for peace ?

207
00:18:00,948 --> 00:18:04,952
? And God help us,
there's a time for strife ?

208
00:18:05,786 --> 00:18:09,356
? Well, she said go
and get your lesson ?

209
00:18:10,824 --> 00:18:13,493
? You will find your blessin'

210
00:18:14,995 --> 00:18:17,130
? Go and get your lesson

211
00:18:18,799 --> 00:18:21,468
? You will find your blessin'

212
00:18:22,302 --> 00:18:23,971
[scatting]

213
00:18:36,750 --> 00:18:41,889
? Each and every good life
has seen the hardest of times ?

214
00:18:44,424 --> 00:18:47,895
? But you just
learn from it, honey ?

215
00:18:47,961 --> 00:18:50,631
? And keep your head held high

216
00:18:52,266 --> 00:18:56,837
? She told me to be grateful,
she told me to be kind ?

217
00:18:59,873 --> 00:19:03,677
? She told me to stand up
for what is right ?

218
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,983
? Said there's a time
for peace ?

219
00:19:11,018 --> 00:19:15,022
? And God help us,
there's a time for strife ?

220
00:19:15,956 --> 00:19:19,293
? But she said
go and get your lesson ?

221
00:19:21,028 --> 00:19:23,697
? You will find your blessin'

222
00:19:24,665 --> 00:19:26,800
? Go and get your lesson

223
00:19:28,602 --> 00:19:31,839
? You are gonna find
your blessin' ?

226
00:20:00,501 --> 00:20:05,305
? She told me to be grateful
and she told me to be kind ?

227
00:20:08,408 --> 00:20:12,212
? She told me to stand up
for what is right ?

228

? Said there's a time
for peace ?

229
00:20:19,553 --> 00:20:23,690
? And Lord help us,
there's a time for strife ?

230
00:20:24,658 --> 00:20:28,328
? Well, she said,
go and get your lesson ?

231
00:20:29,530 --> 00:20:32,666
? And you will find
your blessin' ?

232
00:20:33,534 --> 00:20:35,669
? Go and get your lesson

233
00:20:37,337 --> 00:20:41,008
? And you, you gonna find
your blessin' ?

234
00:20:42,075 --> 00:20:44,878
? Go, go, go, go,
go, go, go, go ?

235
00:20:49,883 --> 00:20:52,352
? And get your lesson, yeah

236
00:20:56,557 --> 00:20:59,893
? Oh, you're gonna love
that lesson ?

237
00:20:59,960 --> 00:21:04,298
? Go and get your lesson,
go and get your lesson ?

238
00:21:07,734 --> 00:21:09,870
? Go and get your lesson

239
00:21:11,805 --> 00:21:13,941
