Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story 歌詞
Original Broadway Cast of Hamilton - Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story
Let me tell you
what I wish I'd known
When I was young and dreamed of glory
You have no control
who lives who dies
who tells your story
President Jefferson
I'll give him this
his financial system is a work of genius
I couldn't undo it if I tried
and I tried
Who lives who dies who tells your story
President Madison he took our country
from bankruptcy to prosperity
I hate to admit it
But he doesn't get enough credit
for all the credit he gave us
Who lives who dies who tells your story
Every other founding father story gets told
Every other founding father gets to grow old
But when you're gone
who remembers your name
Who keeps your flame
who tells your story
Who tells your story
who tells your story
Eliza I put myself back in the narrative
Eliza please stop wasting time on tears
I live another fifty years it's not enough
Eliza I interview every soldier
who fought by your side
she tells our story
I try to make sense of your
thousands of pages of writings
You really do write like
you're running out of time
I rely on angelica
While she's alive
we tell your story
She is buried in Trinity Church
near you
When I needed her most
she was right on time
And I'm still not through
I ask myself what would you do
if you had more time
The Lord in his kindness
He gives me what you always wanted
He gives me more time
I raise funds in D.C.
for the Washington Monument
She tells my story
I speak out against slavery
You could have done
so much more if you only had time
And when my time is up
have I done enough
Will they tell our story
Oh can I show you
what I'm proudest of
The orphanage
I established the first private orphanage
in New York City
The orphanage
I help to raise hundreds of children
I get to see them growing up
the orphanage
In their eyes I see you Alexander
I see you every time
And when my time is up
have I done enough
Will they tell my story
Oh I can't wait to see you again
It's only a matter of time
Will they tell your story
Time
Who lives who dies who tells your story
Time
Will they tell your story
Time
Who lives who dies who tells your story
Who lives, who dies, who tells tour story😢
