Burr glanced at Hamilton, noticing two chairs on screen.
Dear Theodosia, what to say to you?
You have my eyes, you have your mother's name
When you came into the world, you cried
And it broke my heart
I'm dedicating every day to you
"That's really sweet, Uncle Burr," Philip smiled.
Domestic life was never quite my style
When you smile, you knock me out, I fall apart
And I thought I was so smart
"It's the same as my dear Esperanza," Washington smiled, eyes closed as he remembered the smiling face of his daughter before the untimely death of her siblings. "Her smile always brightened up my days, even now they allow me to continue with this war." Hamilton nodded in agreement.
You will come of age with our young nation
We'll bleed and fight for you
We'll make it right for you
If we lay a strong enough foundation
We'll pass it on to you, we'll give the world to you
And you'll blow us all away
That's what Father used to say to me, Philip thought with a smile.
Someday, someday
Yeah, you'll blow us all away
Someday, someday
Oh Philip, when you smile I am undone
My son, look at my son
Pride is not the word I'm looking for
"I never thought I'd be able to have a family," Hamilton murmured as he watched the screen before looking over to his son who grinned at him, reminding him of himself.
Just you wait, Father, Philip thought as he smirked, looking back at the screen. You have another thing coming if you think I'm your only child.
There is so much more inside me now
Oh Philip, you outshine the morning sun
My son
When you smile, I fall apart
And I thought I was so smart
My father wasn't around
(My father wasn't around)
Burr and Hamilton refused to look at anyone, especially Hamilton who was trying to blink the tears away.
I swear that I'll be around for you
And I'm glad you were, Father, Philip couldn't help but think to himself.
I'll do whatever it takes
(I'll make a million mistakes)
You both do, Madison thought sadly. But one 'mistake' leads to one man's fatal demise.
I'll make the world safe and sound for you
Will come of age with our young nation
We'll bleed and fight for you
We'll make it right for you
If we lay a strong enough foundation
We'll pass it on to you, we'll give the world to you
And you'll blow us all away
Someday, someday
Yeah, you'll blow us all away
Someday, someday
Hamilton and Burr smiled at each other, knowing that no matter what this show showed them about how their friendship crumbled, they'd stay friends so one man wouldn't have to meet his dreaded demise.
