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 I felt the shame rise in me And even now I lie awake Knowing history has its eyes on me History has it's eyes on me 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 it's Eyes on you History has it's eyes on you
