An: help I'm running out of AN ideas! Idek why I feel the absolute need to put them in...
..................

"Get ready for your first dose of feels."

"Get ready for what?!"several people questioned.

[WASHINGTON]
I was younger than you are now

"Oh..." Washington breathed, as he understood what this song was about.

When I was given my first command

Martha caught on next, and gripped her husbands hand to comfort him.

I led my men straight into a massacre
I witnessed their deaths firsthand

Dang, I didn't know Washington went through all of that... The SMFDRs thought to themselves.

I made every mistake
And felt the shame rise in me

Washingtons expression faltered, thinking back to that mission, thinking how he failed his men. He dialed his men that had trusted him.

And even now I lie awake

[WASHINGTON & LAURENS/MULLIGAN]
Knowing history has its eyes on me (Whoa...)
Whoa...
Whoa...
Yeah

"Guess that theory proves to be true.."

[HAMILTON/WASHINGTON & COMPANY]
History has its eyes on me (Whoa...)
Whoa...
Whoa...
Yeah

"It's weird isn't it? Living in a time you know will be talked about years into the future?"  Adi said, thinking of the riots, the inflation, the general chaos the world was in.

"Definitely."

"You go that right, kid."

[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

Adi internally screamed at the foreshadowing.

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

"Guess that was true, wasn't sir?"

"It's sure was son, it sure was."

[WASHINGTON/HAMILTON AND MEN]
History has its
Eyes on you

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

[FULL COMPANY]
History has its eyes on you

"The ensemble! Oh gosh it's so beautiful!"  Eliza gushed.

They never get enough credit, but yes!

"Washington has an excellent voice!" Herc said excitedly.

They all nodded in agreement, and the first two rows all looked up at Washington, the way you would look up at your parents. (An: #washingdad)

"Next song, is also a fan favorite, so get ready!"

And so they did.

An: ok there you have it! See you all next time! Bye!
