Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story
[00:04.32] Let me tell you what I wish I'd known
[00:07.59] When I was young and dreamed of glory
[00:10.86] You have no control
[00:12.64] Who lives, who dies, who tells your story?
[00:16.66] President Jefferson
[00:17.66] I'll give him this, his financial system is a work of genius
[00:21.68] I couldn't undo it if I tried
[00:24.24] And I've tried
[00:25.94] Who lives, who dies, who tells your story?
[00:29.47] President Madison
[00:30.73] He took our country from bankruptcy to prosperity
[00:33.99] I hate to admit it
[00:35.49] But he doesn't get enough credit for all the credit he gave us
[00:39.01] Who lives, who dies, who tells your story
[00:42.53] Every other founding fathers' story gets told
[00:45.81] Every other founding father gets to grow old
[00:49.36] And when you're gone, who remembers your name?
[00:51.86] Who keeps your flame?
[00:53.39] Who tells your story?
[00:55.14] Who tells your story?
[00:56.41] Who tells your story?
[01:03.44] I put myself back in the narrative
[01:07.96] (Eliza)
[01:09.24] I stop wasting time on tears
[01:11.51] I live another 50 years
[01:13.78] It's not enough (Eliza)
[01:15.79] I interview every soldier who fought by your side
[01:19.30] (She tells our story)
[01:21.31] I try to make sense of your thousands of pages of writings
[01:25.07] You really do write like you're running out of time
[01:28.10] I rely on Angelica
[01:31.11] While she's alive, we tell your story
[01:34.39] She is buried in Trinity Church near you
[01:37.67] When I needed her most, she was right on time
[01:41.45] And I'm still not through
[01:43.22] I ask myself, what would you do if you had more time
[01:48.01] The Lord, in his kindness
[01:49.51] He gives me what you always wanted
[01:51.78] He gives me more time
[01:54.06] I raise funds in D.C. for the Washington Monument
[01:57.08] (She tells my story)
[01:59.59] I speak out against slavery
[02:02.13] You could have done so much more if you only had time
[02:06.43] And when my time is up, have I done enough?
[02:09.69] Will they tell your story?
[02:13.72] Oh, can I show you what I'm proudest of?
[02:20.01] (The orphanage)
[02:22.03] I established the first private orphanage in New York City
[02:28.06] (The orphanage)
[02:29.31] I help to raise hundreds of children
[02:32.84] I get to see them growing up
[02:34.34] (The orphanage)
[02:36.13] In their eyes I see you, Alexander
[02:40.66] I see you every time
[02:42.66] And when my time is up
[02:44.43] Have I done enough?
[02:46.19] Will they tell your story?
[02:50.98] Oh, I can't wait to see you again
[02:55.25] It's only a matter of time
[03:02.59] Will they tell your story? (Time)
[03:07.89] Who lives, who dies, who tells your story? (Time)
[03:16.69] Will they tell your story? (Time)
[03:21.99] Who lives, who dies, who tells your story?
