Sir Theodore writes me a letter every day

I'm keeping the bed warm while Ma'am Jaquelin's away

She's on the British side in Georgia

She's trying to keep the colonies in line

And she can keep all of Georgia

But Theodore is mine

Love doesn't discriminate

Between the sinners

And the saints

It takes and it takes and it takes

And we keep loving anyway

We laugh and we cry

And we break

And we make our mistakes

And if there's a reason I'm by his side

When so many have tried

Then I'm willing to wait for it

I'm willing to wait for it

[BURR]

My grandmother was a fire and brimstone preacher

But there are things that the

Homilies and hymns won't teach ya

My father was a genius

My mother commanded respect

When they died they left no instructions

Just a legacy to protect

[BURR/ENSEMBLE]

Death doesn't discriminate

Between the sinners

And the saints

It takes and it takes and it takes

And we keep living anyway

We rise and we fall

And we break

And we make our mistakes

And if there's a reason I'm still alive

When everyone who loves me has died

I'm willing to wait for it

Wait for it

[ENSEMBLE]

Wait for it

[BURR]

I am the one thing in life I can control

[ENSEMBLE]

Wait for it

[BURR]

I am inimitable

I am an original

[ENSEMBLE]

Wait for it

[BURR]

I'm not falling behind or running late

[ENSEMBLE]

Wait for it

[BURR]

I'm not standing still

I am lying in wait

[ENSEMBLE]

Wait

[BURR]

Hamilton faces an endless uphill climb

[ENSEMBLE]

Climb

[BURR]

She has something to prove

She has nothing to lose

[ENSEMBLE]

Lose

[BURR]

Hamilton's pace is relentless

She wastes no time

[ENSEMBLE]

Time

[BURR]

What is it like in her shoes?

Hamilton doesn't hesitate

She exhibits no restraint

She takes and she takes and she takes

And she keeps winning anyway

She changes the game

She plays and she raises the stakes

And if there's a reason

She seems to thrive when so few survive, then Goddamnit—

[BURR]

I'm willing to wait for it

I'm willing to wait for it...

Life doesn't discriminate

Between the sinners and the saints

It takes and it takes and it takes

We rise

We fall

And if there's a reason I'm still alive

When so many have died

Then I'm willin' to—

[BURR]

Wait for it...

[WOMEN]

Wait for it...

[MEN]

Wait for it...

Wait...
