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
(Washington)
Knowing history has its eyes on me

(Hamilton/washington)
History has its eyes on me. (LAURENS/MULLIGAN)
Whoa...
Whoa...
Whoa...
Yeah

(Company)
Whoa...
Whoa...
Whoa...
Yeah

(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

(Ensemble)
Whoa...
Whoa...
Whoa...

(Full company)
History has its eyes on you
