Hamilton: An American Musical - History Has Its Eyes on You

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

History has it's eyes on me

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

Who lives, who dies
Who tells your story

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

History has it's
Eyes on you

History has it's eyes on you
