lin-manuel miranda’s “who lives, who dies, who tells your story” - j. mummert lyrics

Loading...

[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?

[burr]
president jefferson:

[jefferson]
i’ll give him this: his financial system is a
work of g*nius. i couldn’t undo it if i tried
and i tried

[washington and company]
who lives
who dies
who tells your story?

[burr]
president madison:

[madison]
he took our country from bankruptcy to prosperity
i hate to admit it, but he doesn’t get enough credit
for all the credit he gave us

[washington and company]
who lives
who dies
who tells your story?

[angelica]
every other founding father story gets told
every other founding father gets to grow old

[burr]
but when you’re gone, who remembers your name?
who keeps your flame?
[burr and men]
who tells your story?

who tells your story?
[angelica and women]
who tells your story?
your story?

[women]
eliza

[eliza]
i put myself back in the narrative

[women]
eliza

[eliza]
i stop wasting time on tears
i live another fifty years
it’s not enough

[company]
eliza

[eliza]
i interview every soldier who fought by your side

[mulligan/lafayette/laurens]
she tells our story

[eliza]
i try to make sense of your thousands of pages of writings
you really do write like you’re running out of—

[eliza and company]
time

[eliza]
i rely on—

[eliza and angelica]
angelica

[eliza]
while she’s alive—

[eliza and angelica]
we tell your story

[eliza]
she is buried in trinity church

[eliza and angelica]
near you

[eliza]
when i needed her most, she was right on—

[eliza and company]
time

[eliza]
and i’m still not through
i ask myself, “what would you do if you had more—”

[eliza and company]
time

[eliza]
the lord, in his kindness
he gives me what you always wanted
he gives me more—

[eliza and company]
time

[eliza]
i raise funds in d.c. for the washington monument

[washington]
she tells my story

[eliza]
i speak out against slavery
you could have done so much more if you only had—

[eliza and company]
time

[eliza]
and when my time is up, have i done enough?
[eliza]
will they tell our story? [company]
will they tell your story?

[eliza]
oh. can i show you what i’m proudest of?

[company]
the orphanage

[eliza]
i established the first private orphanage in new york city

[company]
the orphanage

[eliza]
i help to raise hundreds of children
i get to see them growing up

[company]
the orphanage

[eliza]
in their eyes i see you, alexander
i see you every—

[eliza and company]
time
[eliza]
and when my time is up
have i done enough?
will they tell my story?

[company]
will they tell your story?

[eliza]
oh, i can’t wait to see you again
it’s only a matter of—

[eliza and company]
time
[company]
will they tell your story?

who lives, who dies, who tells your story?

will they tell your story?

who lives, who dies—
[company]
time…

time…

time…

[full company]
who tells your story?
