Lin-Manuel Miranda - History Has Its Eyes On You Lyrics

Listening to this right now during the trump impeachment. Feels right yah know?

*Marquis De Lafayette walking through town*
Alexander: *A SPIDER*
Marquis: *WHERE?!??!*
Alexander: *snorts* scaredy cat
Marquis: *flips him off*

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]
History has its eyes on you

"I don't know if I believe in God, but I do believe in Chris Jackson"

Hubiera sido mejor si ubiera sido más larga

History Has it's eyes on you, even if you don't recognize it at the moment. Put a show on for it, and make it amazing.

I wish so much that the climax was larger.

This is one of my favourite songs in this play just cause of how deep it is

Put it on 1.5 it is better

The piano after "even now I lie awake" is extremely pretty like what

UwU Im so happy becuse Moi is gonna watch Hamilton YAY!!!!! 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆🤭

i actually can't tell if this is a joke account or not and it scares me

wolfuu wut no it is not a joke Account i just like Hamilton

A message the folks in Congress should be thinking long and hard about right now.

i love this song and the meaning of it more than i love wifi

*Why did my science teacher play this during class*

HAHAHAHA

She's probably a hamilton fan

That could be true

i started listening to this because of my friend addie. nice beat

Them: hIstORy hAVS iTs EyES oN yOu!!!
Me: yeah, what they said.

But h _i_ story has only one _i_ ...

poop butt whole

this video sucks

Best song in the show

Why is there 399 dislikes?????!!!!!!

Why is this musical not called “burr” ?!

All that dislike is the British

For anyone who didn't know, what George Washington is likely talking about is his first battle in the French and Indian War where he was sent to assess the situation, fighting on the British and Colonial side against the French and Indians. He fought the French for control of one of the forts and lost because they used guerilla warfare. When Britain sent a British Officer to take command he didn't listen to Washington's statements and he and many soldiers were killed. Washington used guerilla warfare along with the remaining men and was able to get a victory for the British. It's because of these experiences that Washington was such a great General in the revolutionary war.
Edit: so now you know

Those harmonies in that last sentence gave me the CHILLS

this song gave me chills and now i feel like crying

my mom: history has its eyes on you
5 seconds later
my mom: we are descended from voyagers
me: laughs for ever
my mom: ABBY WHATS WRONG WITH YOU!? IS MY VOICE THAT BAD!?
it was the best moment of my life

0:59 foreshadowing...

I love Christopher Jackson and Lin-Manuel Miranda.

How dare you! I'm British!!!

Tune It Up definitely dedicating this to Meek a Hero

This comes on the announcements at school🤦🏽‍♀️

Me thinking about my Google search history.

This song makes me want to be president😂

Especially in the time we live today, this song speaks to moment in History finds us in today.

Me in my social studies classroom with all the founding fathers on the wall: Looks like History has it's eyes one meeeee.

Theory or gop humble

💜💙💚💛🧡❤💙💚💛🧡❤

0:59 "You have no control Who Lives Who Dies Who Tells Your Story"

Me:😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

ugh i wish i could tell this to my younger self to prepare for mourning

One of my favorites...just wish it was longer

People: "I love Hamilton he's amazing."

Me: "He was pro slavery."

People: "Did I hear something?"


*Just a notice I'm okay with America because I live here, and I like the songs in the Hamilton Musical, I'm just gonna clear that up. Real life Hamilton, maybe not the best guy because, well, slaves. But song Hamilton from the Hamilton musical of Broadway, 10/10.*

0:52 When Lin-Manuel Miranda introduces a motif before it becomes a song. 👌

Lyrics~
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 oh...)
(Whoa...)
(Whoa...)
(Yeah)
History has its eyes on me (Whoa oh oh...)
(Whoa...)
(Whoa...)
(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 oh...)
(Whoa...)
(Whoa...)

I would love to see this as an animatic with Iroh and Zuko

Even though we aren't the founding fathers history has it eyes on us even if it's a small fraction even when I was feeling like I would never be worth anyones time. But I remember I have a long time left here so I should try and make a impact

Hamilton is more realistic than other Stories because there are no villains only people who made mistakes

I would pay to have a video of the one line "you have no control who lives, who dies, who tells your story," on repeat

This song somehow always makes me want to cry

This fits Tony, Peter and Pepper way too much

I love this song

Immigrant in 1781: History has its eyes on you
Immigrants in 2019: History has its ICE on you

I absolutely love his voice!!!

Chris: History has it's eyes on me.... I'd better consider the coconuts then

This is probably my favorite Hamilton song

Insert joke about the comments disappearing here:

Thanos yeeted the comments

Deadass what happened to the comments??

Woah what happened to all the comments??

12th lel

Isn't this sweet? A father figure giving his "son" a lesson about li-
Hamilton from the grave: *CaLl Me SoN oNe MoRe TiMe!*

That song/medley was so serious and strong when he said "CALL ME SON 1 MORE TIME!" then his wife starts singing.... Sheeesh. This album is too good.

*8 comments* YouTube have you been drinking again????!

okay, the Thanos of youtube snapped again

What??? 4 comments

Second?

Oh god YouTube thanos-ed the comments again
Um, first?

Holy shit lmao YT violated all the comments?! 🤦🏻😂🤷🏻🤦🏻😂🤷🏻 its just me and you dawg 😂

@R00kieGaming We'll get through this together

*ThanoS snAp*

Washington: "I made every mistake..."
Me: Me too man...me too

THE FEELS.

нιѕтσяу ησт σηℓу нαѕ ιтѕ єуєѕ ση тнєм, ιт нαѕ ιтѕ єуєѕ ση υѕ тσσ.

*уσυ тσσ ¢αη ¢нαηgє нιѕтσяу*

Good :3

Christopher Jackson has an amazing voice

The harmonising takes my breath away every time!

"You have no control who lives, who dies, who tells your story." Is such a true statement...

I love how this musical goes:
Washington in meet me inside: GO HOME!
Washington 2 songs later: *Confesses all his shame and pain*

the dislikes are the men who were lead into the massacre by Washington

*STARTING THE SEVEN YEARS WAR AND LEADING YOUR MEN INTO A MASSACRE ARE TWO VERY DIFFERENT THINGS MR. WASHINGMACHINE*

1:01 always gives me goosebumps wtf

0:58 is *end preview*

0:52
Hey this sounds familar...
*Who lives, who dies, who tells your story.*
NO

YOU have no control who lives who dies who tells your story!

(Act 2 happens.)

(Final song happens)
Hamilton: Well, dam am i lucky the most forgiving person i my life shared my story and thankfully no one else!

It's just so self aware. Washington knew every single soul that would ever live on earth would, were he successful, look back on this moment as a turning point for the entire world.

Why does this have dislikes?

It's the British

That whoa-oa-oa reminds me of *My Shot*

How is it only one minute thirty seven?

"When I was young and dreamed of glory" that is what most of us think that we can get a really powerful job and succeed on the first that is not true.

너무좋아

..............................Every breath you take?

*violently sobs*

I have his on shuffle (worst Idea I know) and this came right after Washington on your side and I thought that was funny

history is a stalker!
watch out world!!!

yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy3333333333333333333333333333333333333333tttttttttttttttttttttttttt

This is an underrated song...

I feel like the who lives who dies who tells your story are all a person in the story who lives could be Jefferson or burr, who dies could be Philip or Laurence and who tells your story is elisa but hey that's just a theory a Broadway musical theory

This song needs to be longer
