Wait For It

[BURR]

Theodosia writes me a letter ev'ry day.

[COMPANY]

Day, day, day...

[BURR]

I'm keeping her bed warm while her husband is away.

[COMPANY]

Away away, away...

[BURR]

He's on the British side in Georgia, he's tryin' to keep the colonies in line. He can keep all of Georgia, but, Theodosia, she's mine. Love doesn't discriminate between the sinners and the saints, it takes and it takes and it takes, and we keep loving anyway. We laugh and we cry and we break and we make our mistakes, and if there's a reason I'm by her side, and so many have tried, then I'm willing to wait for it. I'm willing to wait for it. My grandfather was a fire and brimstone preacher.

[COMPANY]

Preacher, preacher, preacher...

[BURR]

But there's some things that the homilies and hymns won't teach ya.

[COMPANY]

Teach ya, teach ya, teach ya...

[BURR]

My mother was a genius.

[FEMALE COMPANY]

Genius!

[BURR]

My father commanded respect.

[MALE COMPANY]

Respect, respect...

[BURR]

When they died, they left no instructions. Just a legacy to protect. Death doesn't discriminate between the sinners and the saints, it takes and it takes and it takes, and we keep living anyway. We rise and we fall and we break and we make our mistakes, and if there's a reason I'm still alive when everyone who loves me has died, then I'm willing to wait for it. I'm willing to wait for it.

[COMPANY]

Wait for it! Wait for it! Wait for it! Wait for it!

[BURR]

I am the one thing in life I can control!

[COMPANY]

Wait for it! Wait for it! Wait for it! Wait for it!

[BURR]

I am imitable, I am an original!

[COMPANY]

Wait for it! Wait for it! Wait for it! Wait for it!

[BURR]

I'm not falling behind or running late!

[COMPANY]

Wait for it! Wait for it! Wait for it! Wait for it!

[BURR]

I'm not standing still. I am lying in wait!

[COMPANY]

Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait!

[BURR]

Hamilton faces an endless uphill climb!

[COMPANY]

Climb! Climb! Climb!

[BURR]

He has something to prove! He has nothing to lose!

[COMPANY]

Lose! Lose! Lose! Lose!

[BURR]

Hamilton's pace is relentless! He wastes no time!

[COMPANY]

Time! Time! Time!

[BURR]

What is it like in his shoes? Hamilton doesn't hesitate. He exhibits no restraint. He takes and he takes and he takes, and he keeps winning anyway. Changes the game, plays and he raises the stakes and if there's a reason he seems to thrive when so few survive then goddammit! I'm willing to wait for it! I'm willing to wait for it....Life doesn't discriminate between the sinners and the saints, it takes and it takes and it takes!

[BURR/COMPANY]

And we keep living anyway. We rise and we fall and we break and we make our mistakes...

[BURR/COMPANY]

And we fall! And if there's a reason I'm still alive when so many have died, then I'm willin' to!

[BURR/COMPANY]

Wait for it... Wait for it... Wait for it... Wait for it... Wait for it... Wait for it...
