The world was wide enough

(Instead of heather being in the final 2 I've changed it to y/n)

All:One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine

Alejandro:There are ten things you need to know (number one)
We rowed across the Hudson at dawn
My friends,  Lindsay signed on as my (number two)
Y/n arrived with their crew
Harold and a doctor that he knew (number three)
Alejandro:I watched Y/n examine the terrain
I wish I could tell you what was happening in his brain
This teen has poisoned my tactical  pursuits
All:Most disputes die and no one shoots (number four)

Alejandro:Y/n drew first position
Looking to the world like a hero on a mission
This is a soldier with a marksman's ability

Alejandro:The doctor turned around so he could have deniability (five)
Now I didn't know this at the time
But we were near the same spot your biological parents died, is that why? (Six)
They examined their gun with such rigor
I watched as theymethodically fiddled with the trigger (seven)
Alejandro:Confession time, here's what I got

My fellow soldiers'll tell you I'm a terrible shot (number eight)
Your last chance to negotiate
Send in your seconds, see if they can set the record straight
They won't teach you this in your classes
But look it up, Y/n was wearing their glasses
Why? If not to take deadly aim
It's him or me, the world will never be the same
I had only one thought before the slaughter
This man will not make an disappointment of me to my family (number nine)

Alejandro:Look them in the eye, aim no higher
Summon all the courage you require
Then count
(One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, number ten paces, fire)
(when you're about to take Alejandros place)

Y/n:I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory
Is this where it gets me, on my feet, sev'ral feet ahead of me?
I see it coming, do I run or fire my 'gun' or let it be?
There is no beat, no melody
Alejandro, my first friend, my enemy
Maybe the last face I ever see
If I throw away my shot, is this how you'll remember me?
What if this 'bullet' is my legacy?
Legacy, what is a legacy?
It's planting seeds in a garden you never get to see
I wrote some notes at the beginning of a song someone will sing for me
America, you great unfinished symphony, you sent for me
You let me make a difference, a place where even orphan immigrants

Can leave their fingerprints and rise up
I'm running out of time, I'm running, and my time's up
Wise up, eyes up
I catch a glimpse of the other side
F/n (friend name) leads a soldiers' chorus on the other side
My Bf/n (best friend name) is on the other side
They're with my (bio)parentson the other side
My family is watching from the other side
Teach me how to say goodbye
Rise up, rise up, rise up, Dad's
My loves, take your time
I'll see you on the other side
Raise a glass to freedom (they aims their 'pistol' at the sky-)
Wait
They pushed me out the way, slowly being consumed by the lava.
I run towards towards them but I am ushered away
They(everyone) search for them
I get a drink
I hear wailing on the beach  (aah, aah, aah)
Somebody tells Chris, "You'd better hide" (aah, aah, aah)
They say Chef and Chris
Were both at their side when they 'died'
Death doesn't discriminate
Between the sinners and the saints, it takes and it takes and it takes
History obliterates, in every picture it paints
It paints me and all my mistakes
When Y/n pushed me out of harms way they may have been the first one to die
Chris/Alejandro:But I'm the one who paid for it
I survived but I paid for it

Chris:Now I'm the villain in your history
I was too young and blind to see
I should've known
I should've known the world was wide enough for both Y/n and me
The world was wide enough for both Y/n and me
