[Author's Note: 2018 Hamilton phase strikes again]
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 awakeKnowing history has its eyes on me
History has its eyes on me
Let me tell you what I wish I'd known
When I was young and dreamed of glory
You have no controlWho 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
History has its eyes on you
History has its eyes on you
