{Erin Burr}
How does a bastard, orphan, daughter of a whore and a
Scotsman, dropped in the middle of a forgotten
Spot in the Caribbean by providence, impoverished, in squalor
Grow up to be a hero and a scholar?
{Jhen Laurens}
The ten-dollar Founding Mother without a mother
Got a lot farther by working a lot harder
By being a lot smarter
By being a self-starter
By fourteen, they placed her in charge of a trading charter
{Themis Jefferson}
And every day while slaves were being slaughtered and carted away
Across the waves, she struggled and kept her guard up
Inside, she was longing for something to be a part of
The sister was ready to beg, steal, borrow, or barter
{Jane Madison}
Then a hurricane came, and devastation reigned
Our girl saw her future drip, dripping down the drain
Put a pencil to her temple, connected it to her brain
And she wrote her first refrain, a testament to her pain
{Erin Burr}
Well, the word got around, they said, this kid is insane, man
Took up a collection just to send him to the mainland
Get your education, don't forget from whence you came
And the world is gonna know your name
What's your name, girl?
{Alexandra Hamilton}
Alexandra Hamilton
My name is Alexandra Hamilton
And there's a million things I haven't done
But just you wait, just you wait
{Elijah Schuyler Hamilton}
When she was ten her father split, full of it, debt-ridden
Two years later, see Alex and her father bed-ridden
Half-dead sittin' in their own sick, the scent thick
{All [Except Alexandra]whispering}
And Alex got better but her mother went quick
{Georgia Washington}
Moved in with a cousin, the cousin committed suicide
Left her with nothin' but ruined pride, something new inside voice saying
Alex, you gotta fend for yourself. She started retreatin' and readin' every treatise on the shelf
{Erin Burr}
There would have been nothin' left to do for someone less astute
She woulda been dead or destitute without a cent of restitution
Started workin', clerkin' for her late father's landlandy
Tradin' sugar cane and rum and all the things she can't afford
Scammin' for every book she can get her hands on
Plannin' for the future see her now as she stands on the bow of a ship headed for a new land
In New York you can be a new man
{Company} {Hamilton}
In New York you can be a new man Just you wait!
In New York you can be a new man Just you wait!
In New York you can be a new man-
{Women}
In New York-
{Men}
New York-
{Alexandra Hamilton}
Just you wait!
{Company} {Company}
Alexandra Hamilton Alexandra Hamilton
We are waiting in the wings for you Waiting in the wings for you
You could never back down
You never learned to take your time! You never learned to take your time!
Oh, Alexandra Hamilton Oh, Alexandra Hamilton
When America sings for you America sings for you Alexandra Hamilton...
Will they know what you overcame? Will they know what you overcame?
Will they know you rewrote the game? Will they know you rewrote the game?
The world will never be the same, oh The world will never be the same, oh
{Erin Burr}
The ship is in the harbor now {Men}
See if you can spot her Just you wait
Another immigrant {Company}
Comin' up from the bottom Just you wait
Her enemies destroyed her rep
America forgot her
{Mulligan & Lafayette}
We fought with her
{Laurens}
Me? I died for her
{Washington}
Me? I trusted her
{Schuyler Brothers and Marcus}
Me? I loved her
{Burr}
And me? I'm the damn fool that shot her!
{COMPANY}
There's a million things I haven't done
But just you wait!
{BURR}
What's your name, man?
{COMPANY}
Alexandra Hamilton!
