Whoa...

Whoa... oooh...

Oo-oooh...

I was younger than you are now

When I was given my first command

I led my men into a massacre

Witnessed their deaths firsthand

Oh, I made every mistake

I felt the shame rise in me

And even now I lie awake

Knowing history, history.

History has its eyes on me

History, history, history, aaah....

History has its eyes on me

History, history, history

Ahhh....

Let me tell you what I wish I'd known

When I was young and dreamed of glory

Don't nobody have 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, history.

History has its eyes on you

History, history, history, aaah...

History has its eyes on you

History, history, history

Ahhh...

Whoa...

Whoa... (whoa)

Whoa...

History has its eyes on you

History, history, history (whoa)

Aaah...

History has its eyes on you (oooh)

History (ahhh)

History has its eyes on you (oooh, ooh)

History, history

Oooh, yeah...
