The song talks about how history remembers people and how important it is to have someone to tell their story after they die. The protagonist wonders who will remember them after they pass away and who will tell their story. They mention how other founding fathers are remembered, but they may not be. However, they try to make sure their partner, Eliza, will tell their story after they are gone. In the end, they hope that they have done enough to be remembered and have their story told.
