Cast member of it gets better, Sacha Sacket, was badly bullied in high school. Born in Iran, Sacha didn't disclose the harassment with his family and experienced severe alienation and depression. Years later, he discovered the story of Jamey - a young man who made a video for the It Gets Better Project documenting his own similar bullying experience. Tragically, Jamey took his own life in the fall of 2011 at age 15. Sacha wrote this song in one sitting in response to this tragic news, and he graciously shares it onstage as part of our performance.
This version was recorded live in the Shatto Chapel at the First Congregational Church in Los Angeles - the same space where we held development workshops and rehearsals for the project.

Lyrics:
He tries to understand
He turns the pages
They say he's not a man
It burns in stages
And so
Here's how the story goes
He dies to let you know
That the kids won't quit
And his heart don't fit
And his life is shit
They say it's such a shame
The war and wages
They find some kids to blame
And turn their pages
But no
Here's how the story goes
He died to let you know
That the kids won't quit
And his heart don't fit
And his life is shit
