[00:04.72] Let me tell you what I wish I'd known
[00:07.74] When I was young and dreamed of glory
[00:10.74] You have no control
[00:12.51] Who lives, who dies, who tells your story?
[00:16.52] President Jefferson:
[00:17.77] I'll give him this: his financial system is a work of genius
[00:21.51] I couldn't undo it if I tried
[00:24.00] And I've tried
[00:25.79] Who lives, who dies, who tells your story?
[00:29.79] President Madison:
[00:31.02] He took our country from bankruptcy to prosperity
[00:34.52] I hate to admit it
[00:35.57] But he doesn't get enough credit for all the credit he gave us
[00:38.57] Who lives, who dies, who tells your story
[00:43.07] Every other founding father's story gets told
[00:45.58] Every other founding father gets to grow old
[00:49.17] And when you're gone, who remembers your name?
[00:51.88] Who keeps your flame?
[00:53.37] Who tells your story?
[00:55.65] Who tells your story?
[00:56.63] Who tells your story?
[01:03.12] I put myself back in the narrative
[01:08.14] (Eliza)
[01:09.64] I stop wasting time on tears
[01:11.14] I live another fifty years
[01:13.65] It's not enough
[01:14.88] (Eliza)
[01:16.14] I interview every soldier who fought by your side
[01:19.38] (She tells our story)
[01:21.48] I try to make sense of your thousands of pages of writings
[01:25.20] You really do write like you're running out of time
[01:28.71] I rely on Angelica
[01:30.98] While she's alive we tell your story
[01:34.32] She is buried in Trinity Church near you
[01:37.55] When I needed her most, she was right on time
[01:41.32] And I'm still not through
[01:43.54] I ask myself, what would you do if you had more time
[01:47.79] The Lord, in his kindness
[01:49.56] He gives me what you always wanted
[01:52.04] He gives me more time
[01:54.04] I raise funds in D.C. for the Washington Monument
[01:57.54] (She tells my story)
[01:58.83] I speak out against slavery
[02:02.09] You could have done so much more if you only had time
[02:06.32] And when my time is up, have I done enough?
[02:09.82] Will they tell your story?
[02:13.82] Oh. Can I show you what I'm proudest of?
[02:19.82] (The orphanage)
[02:22.32] I establish the first private orphanage in New York City
[02:26.88] (The orphanage)
[02:29.13] I help to raise hundreds of children
[02:32.63] I get to see them growing up
[02:34.64] (The orphanage)
[02:36.69] In their eyes I see you, Alexander
[02:40.39] I see you every time
[02:42.88] And when my time is up
[02:44.38] Have I done enough?
[02:46.00] Will they tell your story?
[02:49.99] Oh, I can't wait to see you again
[02:55.23] It's only a matter of time
[03:02.48] Will they tell your story? (Time)
[03:07.48] Who lives, who dies, who tells your story? (Time)
[03:16.47] Will they tell your story? (Time)
[03:22.48] Who lives, who dies who tells your story?
