Isaiah Johnson - History Has Its Eyes On You (Off-Broadway lyrics

[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
