history has its eyes on you

Hamilton (an American Musical)

[Washington]
I was younger than you are now
When I was given my first command
I led my men straight into a massacre
I witnessed their deaths firsthand
I made every mistake
I felt the shame rise in me
And even now I lie awake
Knowing history has its eyes on me

[Hamilton Washington]
History has its eyes on me

[Washington]
Let me tell you what I wish I'd known
When I was young and dreamed of glory
You have no control

[Washington And Company]
Who lives, who dies, who tells your story

[Washington]
I know that we can win
I know that greatness lies in you
But remember from here on in

[Washington Hamilton And Men]
History has its
Eyes on you
