History Has Its Eyes on You

History Has Its Eyes on You - Christopher Jackson/Lin-Manuel Miranda/Original Broadway Cast of Hamilton

Lyrics by：Lin-Manuel Miranda

Composed by：Lin-Manuel Miranda

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 awake

Knowing history has it's eyes on me whoa whoa

History has it's eyes on me whoa whoa yeah

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

I know that we can win

I know that greatness lies in you

But remember from here on in

History has it's eyes on you whoa whoa

History has it's eyes on you
