History Has Its Eyes On You lyrics

[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.

[FULL COMPANY]

History has its eyes on you
