[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


"Oh shit..." Hamilton looked over at his commander in Chief. Unable to speak as the man watched the stage his jaw locked, fist clenched. And tears streaming down his face. 


[Washington (Laurens/Mulligan):]
Knowing history has its eyes on me (Whoa oh oh...)
(Whoa...)
(Whoa...)
(Yeah)

[Hamilton/Washington (Company):]
History has its eyes on me (Whoa oh oh...)
(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

"That sounds an awful lot like foreshadowing" James remarked looking up at Chris 

[Washington:]
I know that we can win
I know that greatness lies in you
But remember from here on in

[Washington/Hamilton and men (Ensemble):]
History has its eyes on you (Whoa oh oh...)
(Whoa...)
(Whoa...)

[Full Company:]
History has its eyes on you


Washington was on his feet first, a smile making its way to his lips. Hamilton was next, clapping as Chris nodded his thanks to both the first President and Secretary of the Treasury 

"I wonder what's next" Philip asked Lafayette who was holding Herc's hand. He quickly pulled away. 

"I do not know....maybe something a bit more heureux?" 

"Oui...perhaps."
