*I don't own anything besides my changes*
[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?
[BURR]
President Jefferson:
[JEFFERSON]
I'll give her this: her financial system is a
Work of genius. I couldn't undo it if I tried
And I tried
[WASHINGTON AND COMPANY]
Who lives
Who dies
Who tells your story?
[BURR]
President Madison:
[MADISON]
She took our country from bankruptcy to prosperity
I hate to admit it, but she doesn't get enough credit
For all the credit she gave us
[WASHINGTON AND COMPANY]
Who lives
Who dies
Who tells your story?
[ANGELO]
Every other founding mother's story gets told
Every other founding mother gets to grow old
[BURR]
But when you're gone, who remembers your name?
Who keeps your flame?
[BURR AND MEN]
Who tells your story?
Who tells your story?
[ANGELO AND WOMEN]
Who tells your story?
Your story?
[WOMEN]

I put myself back in the narrative

I stop wasting time on tears
I live another fifty years
It's not enough

I interview every soldier who fought by your side
[MULLIGAN/LAFAYETTE/LAURENS]
He tells our story
[ELIJAH]

You really do write like you're running out of—
[ELIJAH AND COMPANY]
Time
[ELIJAH]
I rely on—
[ELIJAH AND ANGELO]
Angelo
[ELIJAH]
While he's alive—
[ELIJAH AND ANGELO]
We tell your story

He is buried in Trinity Church
[ELIJAH AND ANGELO]
Near you

When I needed him most, he was right on—
[ELIJAH AND COMPANY]
Time
[ELIJAH]
And I'm still not through
I ask myself, "What would you do if you had more—"
[ELIJAH AND COMPANY]
Time
[ELIJAH]
The Lord, in his kindness
He gives me what you always wanted
He gives me more—
[ELIJAH AND COMPANY]
Time
[ELIJAH]
I raise funds in D.C. for the Washington Monument
[WASHINGTON]
He tells my story
[ELIJAH]
I speak out against slavery
You could have done so much more if you only had—
[ELIJAH AND COMPANY]
Time
[ELIJAH]
And when my time is up, have I done enough?
[ELIJAH]
Will they tell our story?
[COMPANY]
Will they tell your story?
[ELIJAH]
Oh. Can I show you what I'm proudest of?
[COMPANY]
The orphanage
[ELIJAH]
I established the first private orphanage in New York City
[COMPANY]
The orphanage
[ELIJAH]
I help to raise hundreds of children
I get to see them growing up
[COMPANY]
The orphanage
[ELIJAH]
In their eyes I see you, Alexandra
I see you every—
[ELIJAH AND COMPANY]
Time
[ELIJAH]
And when my time is up
Have I done enough?
Will they tell my story?
[COMPANY]
Will they tell your story?
[ELIJAH]
Oh, I can't wait to see you again
It's only a matter of—
[ELIJAH AND COMPANY]
Time
[COMPANY]
Will they tell your story?
Who lives, who dies, who tells your story?
Will they tell your story?
Who lives, who dies—
[COMPANY]
Time...
Time...
Time...
[FULL COMPANY]
Who tells your story?
