In this song, Washington tells Hamilton what the show he’s starring in is all about. During this scene, Washington hands Hamilton a sword, a symbol of his promotion to his command. The song ends with a mutual salute.
Sure, this song is a minute and a half long, but here’s a seven minute talk with R...
[WASHINGTON]
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
[WASHINGTON & LAURENS/MULLIGAN]
Knowing history has its eyes on me (Whoa…)
Whoa…
Whoa…
Yeah
[HAMILTON/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/HAMILTON AND MEN]
History has its
Eyes on you
[ENSEMBLE]
Whoa…
Whoa…
Whoa…
[FULL COMPANY]
