BACKGROUND and MEANING:
We had Hamilton tickets for April (so sad) and started playing one of our fav songs as consolation - together with Amazing Grace, it deepens the meaning of both songs: "History" is sung by George Washington to a young Hamilton, about his failings at the start of his career; and "Amazing Grace" was written by a former slave trader, repenting his actions. Both sing about the transformative power of knowing History/Grace is watching over you. Even if you feel invisible at this time, Grace and History have got your back. YOU DO MATTER. Love always ~

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)
History has its eyes on me
Whoa
Whoa

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now am found
Was blind but now I see

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
Whoa
History has its eyes on you

Through many dangers, toils and snares
We have already come
T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far
And Grace will lead us home
And Grace will lead us home

History has its eyes on you
Whoa
Whoa
History has its eyes on you
