Ahmir Thompson - History Has Its Eyes On You lyrics

[WASHINGTON] I was younger than you are now When I was given my first command I led my men straight into a ma**acre I witnessed their d**hs firsthand I made every mistake And felt the shame rise in me And even now I lie awake [WASHINGTON] Knowing history has its eyes on me [HAMILTON/WASHINGTON] History has its eyes on me. [LAURENS/MULLIGAN] Whoa… Whoa… Whoa… Yeah [COMPANY] 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 Eyes on you. [ENSEMBLE] Whoa… Whoa… Whoa… [FULL COMPANY] History has its eyes on you
