As the actors playing Hamilton and Washington took the stage, a lot of people hid confused looks on their faces. Shouldn't it be moving on to the Battle of Yorktown?

[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

At this, everyone, especially those who had served under Washington, blanched and sent him and the screen looks of horror and confusion.

"July 3rd, 1754, The Battle of Fort Necessity." Washington said simply, his voice full of regret, trying to distance himself from the memories of all those men he failed that day as worried looks were shot at him.

I made every mistake
And felt the shame rise in me
And even now I lie awake

[WASHINGTON & LAURENS/MULLIGAN]
Knowing history has its eyes on me

"That must be a difficult burden to bear, having history which your every move." Angelica said after thinking it over.

As people thought it over, they realized how daunting that would be, having everything you do, every move you make be studied and scrutinized by history.

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

[HAMILTON/WASHINGTON & COMPANY]
History has its eyes on me (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

"Wow, I don't even know what to say to that. It's so true." Burr said, filled with an indescribable emotion.

"I know, this is probably one of the wisest things I've heard you mortals say." Chaos replied.

[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

By now everyone was engrossed in the music, and in wonder at the harmony.

[ENSEMBLE]
Whoa...
Whoa...
Whoa...

[FULL COMPANY]
History has its eyes on you

"Wow, that was short, but it was beautiful." John said softly, awe clear in his voice as the next song took over.
