This is a description of the video from Wikipedia:
�
The video opens in a deserted, destroyed school hallway with Lee's character shown sitting on the ground. As the first verse begins, he slowly begins to stand up and makes his way through the hallway. The boy then sees a female teacher in a classroom who's stricken with fear and closes the door, realizing that the boy is the cause of the damage.
As the boy makes his way outside the school building, a police car arrives and the teacher rushes outside to tell the police man about the boy. Lee's character then rides a bicycle home to pack his things. He heads home and sees a news report about the incident, causing him to quickly gather his things to flee.
Several policemen then appear outside the front door of the boy's house, while he tries to escape from the back door. The boy realizes that the door is locked so he uses his supernatural powers to grab the keys from the kitchen bench.
The policemen then enter the house to find that the boy has escaped, but find two teddy bears floating in the air. The final scene shows the boy running away from a SWAT team in the woods. The boy is caught by one of the men who kicks him to the ground. The video ends with the boy using his supernatural powers once again to blow away the men.
