I may not live to see our glory

Laurens looks down, he was right.

Alexander, there's a letter for you from South Carolina

But I'll gladly join the fight
It's from John Laurens, I'll read it later
No it's not
And when our children tell our story
Will you read it?
They'll tell the story of tonight

On tuesday, the twenty seventh, Lieutenant Colonel John Laurens
Was killed in a gunfight againist British troops in South Carolina

Washington, Burr, Lafayette, Mulligan, and Alex looks down.
"I remember that day....it was horrible.....my life went down hill after that..." Alex mutters with a tear flowing, and Laurens grabs his hand.

These troops had not recieved word from Yorktown that the war was over
He's buried here until he's family can send for his remains
As you may know, Lieutenant Colonel John Laurens was engaged
Recruiting three thousand men for the first all-black millitary regiment
The surviving members of this regiment have been returned to their masters

"I was heartbroken when I heard that," Laurens mutters.
"Wait...how did you....know,"
"It's called being a ghost, I was looking at him when you were singing to me pa," Philip says which makes Alex jaw drop.

Tomorrow there'll be more of us!
Alexander are you alright?
I have so much work to do

"Before you ask, I flood myself with work to forget bad things," Alex says.

After the war I went back to New York
A-after the war I went back to New York
I finished up my studies and I practiced law
I practiced law, Burr worked next door
Even though we started at the very same time
Alexander Hamilton began to climb
How to account for his rise to the top?
Man, the man is non-stop

"That's what you were just talking about," Lee says laughing.

Gentlemen of the jury, I'm curious, bear with me
Are you aware that we're making hist'ry?
This is the first murder trial of our brand-new nation
The liberty behind deliberation (Non-stop!)
I intend to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt
With my assistant counsel
Co-counsel
Hamilton, sit down

Everyone laughs at Lin's face when Leslie told him to sit down.

Our client Levi Weeks is innocent
Call your first witness
That's all you had to say

Okay
One more thing–

Why do you assume you're the smartest in the room?
Why do you assume you're the smartest in the room?
Why do you assume you're the smartest in the room?
Soon that attitude may be your doom!

Why do you write like you're running out of time?

"S t r e s s  a n d  s a d n e s s  b u r r"

Write day and night like you're running out of time?
Every day you fight, like you're running out of time
Keep on fighting, in the meantime-
(Non-stop!)
