John Legend - History Has Its Eyes On You Lyrics






Whoa...
Whoa... Oooh
Oo-oooh

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

History has its eyes on me
History, history, history, aaah
History has its eyes on me
History, history, history
Ahhh

Let me tell you what I wish I'd known
When I was young and dreamed of glory
Don't nobody have 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, history

History has its eyes on you
History, history, history, aaah
History has its eyes on you
History, history, history
Ahhh

Whoa...
Whoa... (whoa)
Whoa...

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

John Legend History Has Its Eyes On You Comments
  1. I.... T....

    This version is disgustingly underrated. This is such a good piece of music that has not received its adequate share of attention.

  2. b.... d....

    It is so emotional and I love it

    Well done John

  3. j.... l....

    John and Kelly need to do a version of it’s quiet uptown

  4. G.... ....

    holy hamilton this is amazing

  5. J.... K....

    I love John Legend, but shouldn't be singing as John Lauren's?*sly smile*

  6. C.... W....

    It's so good. I can listen to this song over and over

  7. S.... R....

    Church. Take me to church. This is brilliant.

  10. E.... H....

    This is my favorite out off all the songs, it just soothes my ears

  11. S.... R....

    u r good but I'm I rather listen to the regular one...sorry...this isn't a bad comment u r great just this doesn't really get my attention like Lin manuel Miranda did with the regular version sorry

  12. F.... B....

    Omg wow! Things song is so soulful and well done! I felt every word

  13. A.... R....

    Sorry just don’t like the sound of the music you use

  14. K.... A....

    wow. this is amazing

  15. S.... B....

    this video is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  16. C.... ....

    This is great but it should be played in a minor to give it that sadder tone it sounds way too happy for telling someone how you led people to die

    C.... ....

    tru tho

    C.... ....

    Disagree. This is a brilliant re-telling (re-singing?) of this song as a hymn. This is that "Great getting up Sunday morning" gospel, and I think it's perfect in a major.

    C.... ....

    Suzanne Roberts Same. Sounds like Something So Great Inside

    C.... ....

    It’s the same key as Glory, isn’t it?

  17. P.... K....

    Anyone only realize it's john legend when the video started and dropped their jaws 😱😄

    P.... K....

    MEEEEEEEE

  18. B.... ....

    1 dislike out of 11,000 people... Instant respect

  19. R.... W....

    This is JUST AS emotional as the original but with a much more soulful twist and I LOVE IT. It sounds more like it could be a Civil War hymn rather than a Revolution War hymn. Love it. I've not been the biggest fan of much of the Hamilton Mixtape but I think this may be my favorite, along with You'll Be Back. So good.

  20. D.... C....

    This is amazing. It so slow and I love to just close my eyes and jam out on my school bus 🙃

  21. J.... t....

    AMAZING

  22. M.... ....

    Too slow for my liking but all your other music is great

  23. k.... ....
