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
And felt the shame rise in me
And even now I lie awakeKnowing history has its eyes on me (whoa)History has its eyes on me
Whoa
Whoa
YeahLet me tell you what I wish I'd known
When I was young and dreamed of glory
You have no controlWho lives, who dies, who tells your storyI know that we can win
I know that greatness lies in you
But remember from here on inHistory has its eyes on youWhoa
Whoa
History has its eyes on you
