The Play That Change Our Lifes

The World Was Wide Enough

Every guys sing
One two three four

Everyone sing
Five six seven eight nine-

Danila said
There are ten things you need to know

Everything yell out
Number one!

Danila looked across from the stage
We rowed across the Hudson at dawn
My friend, William P. Van Ness signed on as my-

Everyone yell out
Number two!

Danila pointing at Jesus
Hamilton arrived with his crew:
Nathaniel Pendleton and a doctor that he knew

Everyone yell
Number three!

Danila got closer to Jesus
I watched Hamilton examine the terrain
I wish I could tell you what was happ'ning in his brain
This man has poisoned my political pursuits!

Everyone yell
Most disputes die and no one shoots!
Number four!

Danila glare at Jesus
Hamilton drew first position
Looking, to the world, like a man on a mission
This is a soldier with a marksman's ability
The doctor turned around so he could have deniability

Everyone yell
Five!

Danila looked at Jesus
Now I didn't know this at the time
But we were-
Near the same spot
Your son died, is that
Why-

Everyone yell
Six!

Danila pointing at Jesus
He examined his gun with such rigor?
I watched as he methodically fiddled with the trigger

Everyone yell
Seven!

Danila said while getting a gun
Confession time? here's what I got:
My fellow soldiers'll tell you I'm a terrible shot

Everyone yell
Number eight!

Jesus and Danila walked toward each other
Your last chance to negotiate
Send in your seconds, see if they can set the record straight

Danila walked away
They won't teach you this in your classes
But look it up, Hamilton was wearing his 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 orphan of my daughter

Everyone yell
Number nine!

Danila pointing at Jesus
Look him in the eye, aim no higher
Summon all the courage you require
Then count:

Everyone yell
One two three four five six seven eight nine
Number ten paces! Fire!-

Jesus turn to the audience
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

Jesus walk towards Danila
Burr, 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

Jesus walk away and towards to the audience
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

Jesus turn to Albert
I catch a glimpse of the other side
Laurens leads a soldiers' chorus on the other side
My son is on the other side
He's with my mother on the other side

Jesus turn to Kevin
Washington is watching from the other side
Teach me how to say goodbye

Jesus walk towards Vanessa and kiss her well more like kiss her like it's his last time.so making out for a couple of seconds
Rise up, rise up, rise up
Eliza
My love, take your time
I'll see you on the other side
Raise a glass to freedom...

Everyone said and Jesus raise his arm toward up
He aims his pistol at the sky-

Danila yell out
Wait!

Danila said while Jesus gets taken away
I strike him right between his ribs
I walk towards him, but I am ushered away
They row him back across the Hudson
I get a drink

Everyone said
Aaaah
Aaaah
Aaaah

Danila looked around
I hear wailing in the streets

Everyone said
Aaaah
Aaaah
Aaaah

Danila said
Somebody tells me, "You'd better hide."

Everyone said
Aaaah
Aaaah
Aaaah

Danila said
They say

Danila and Zoee sing
Angelica and Eliza-

Danila continue
Were both at his side when he 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 Alexander aimed
At the sky
He may have been the first one to die
But I'm the one who paid for it

I survived, but I paid for it

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 Hamilton and me
The world was wide enough for both Hamilton and me

Everyone walked away
