Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story
WASHINGTON Let me tell you what I wish I'd known When I was young and dreamed of glory You have no control 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 genius I couldn't undo it if I tried And... I've tried 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 COMPANY Who lives, who dies, who tells your story? ANGELICA Every other founding father's story gets told Every other founding father gets to grow old BURR And when you're gone, who remembers your name? Who keeps your flame? Who tells your story? COMPANY Who tells your story? Who tells your story? Eliza ELIZA I put myself back in the narrative COMPANY 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 LAFAYETTE/LAURENS/MULLIGAN 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 COMPANY Time ELIZA I rely on ANGELICA/ELIZA Angelica ELIZA While she's alive ANGELICA/ELIZA We tell your story ELIZA She is buried in Trinity Church ANGELICA/ELIZA Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Near you ELIZA When I needed her most, she was right on COMPANY Time ELIZA And I'm still not through I ask myself, what would you do if you had more COMPANY Time ELIZA The Lord, in his kindness He gives me what you always wanted He gives me more 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 COMPANY Time ELIZA And when my time is up, have I done enough? Will they tell your story? Oh. Can I show you what I'm proudest of? COMPANY The orphanage ELIZA I establish 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 COMPANY Time And when my time is up Have I done enough? Will they tell your story? Oh, I can't wait to see you again It's only a matter of COMPANY Time Will they tell your story? Time… Who lives, who dies, who tells your story? Time… Will they tell your story? Time… Who lives, who dies Who tells your story?
