Lin-Manuel Miranda
History Has Its Eyes On You (2014 Workshop)
[WASHINGTON]
I was younger than you are now
The year was 1754
I was given my first command
I triggered the French and Indian war
I made every mistake
And felt the shame rise in me
And even now I lie awake [WASHINGTON] [LAURENS/MULLIGAN] Knowing history has its eyes on me Whoa…
Whoa…
Whoa…
Yeah [WASHINGTON] [COMPANY] History has its eyes on me. 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 AND MEN] History has its
Eyes on you. [ENSEMBLE] Whoa…
Whoa…
Whoa… [FULL COMPANY]
History has its eyes on you
