Lin-Manuel MirandaHistory Has Its Eyes On You Lyrics
[Intro]
Whoa…
Whoa… Oooh
Oo-oooh
[Verse 1]
Ay
I was younger than you are now
When I was given my first command
I led my men into a massacre
Witnessed their deaths firsthand
Oh, I made every mistake
I felt the shame rise in me
And even now I lie awake
Knowing history, history
[Chorus]
History has its eyes on me
History, history, history
Ah, history has its eyes on me
History, history, history
Ahhh
[Verse 2]
Let me tell you what I wish I’d known
When I was young and dreamed of glory

History, history
[Chorus]
History has its eyes on you
History, history, history
Ah, history has its eyes on you
History, history, history
Ahhh
[Bridge]

[Chorus]
History has its eyes on you
History, history, history (whoa)
Aaah
History has its eyes on you (oooh)
History (ahhh)
History has its eyes on you (oooh, ooh)
History, history
Oooh, yeah
