BURR
Theodosia writes me a letter every day
I'm keeping the bed warm while her husband is away
He's on the British side in Georgia
He's trying to keep the colonies in line
But he can keep all of Georgia
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
When so many have tried
Then I'm willing to wait for it
I'm willing to wait for it [BURR] My grandfather was a fire and brimestone [MEN] preacher Preacher, preacher, preacher But there are things that the homilies and hymns won't teach Teach ya, teach ya ya teach ya [WOMEN] My mother was a Genius genius My father Respect, respect commanded respect When they died they left no instructions Just a legacy to protect [BURR/ENSEMBLE]
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
I’m willing to wait for it
I’m willing to wait for it
Wait for it
ENSEMBLE
Wait for it
Wait for it
Wait for it

I’m not standing still
I am lying in wait

Hamilton faces an endless uphill climb
ENSEMBLE

He has something to prove
He has nothing to lose

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
He changes the game
He plays and he raises the stakes
And if there’s a reason
He seems to thrive when so few survive, then Goddamnit— [BURR] [COMPANY] I'm willing to wait for it I'm willing to wait for it Wait for it Wait for... I'm willing to wait for it... I'm willing to— Life doesn't discriminate Life doesn't discriminate Between the sinners and the Between the sinners and the saints saints It takes and it takes and it It takes and it takes and it takes takes And we keep
