Hamilton Song Lyrics •Musical•

History Has Its Eyes On You

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: LAURENS/MULLIGAN:
Knowing history has its eyes on me 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

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 ENSEMBLE:
Eyes on you. Whoa...
. Whoa...
. Whoa...

FULL COMPANY:
History has its eyes on you
