Original Broadway Cast of Hamilton
history has its eyes on you instrumental
Select language to translate this lyric
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 its eyes on me (Whoa oh ohâ¦)
(Whoaâ¦)
(Whoaâ¦)
(Yeah)
History has its eyes on me (Whoa oh ohâ¦)
(Whoaâ¦)
(Whoaâ¦)
(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 its eyes on you (Whoa oh ohâ¦)
(Whoaâ¦)
(Whoaâ¦)
History has its eyes on you
