"How does a bastard, orphan, son 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?" Iris sings staring down at the grave in front of her no tears in her eyes

"The ten-dollar founding father without a father." Davros smirks leaning on his cane. "Got a lot farther by working a lot harder, by being a lot smarter By being a self-starter by fourteen, they placed him in charge of a trading charter."

"And every day while slaves were being slaughtered and carted away across the waves, he struggled and kept his guard up. Inside, he was longing for something to be a part of. The brother was ready to beg, steal, borrow, or barter then a hurricane came, and devastation reigned. Our man saw his future drip, dripping down the drain, put a pencil to his temple, connected it to his brain and he wrote his first refrain, a testament to his pain!" Owen looks down at the ground when he hears Kitty Lafayette sob.

"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, man?" Iris turns to the group

"Christopher Oswald!" Chris' ghost stands between two of his most loved girls. "My name is Christopher Oswald and there's a million things I haven't done! But just you wait, just you wait!"

"When he was ten his father split, full of it, debt-ridden, two years later, see Chris and his mother bed-ridden half-dead sittin' in their own sick, the scent thick and Chris got better but his mother went quick..." Maria sobs as she looks down at her weeding ring

"Moved in with a cousin, the cousin committed suicide, left him with nothin' but ruined pride, something new inside voice saying Chris, you gotta fend for yourself." Alex sadly smiles the memories of Chris flashing through her mind

"He started retreatin' and readin' every treatise on the shelf!" Isabella spoke up.

"There would have been nothin' left to do for someone less astute. He woulda been dead or destitute without a cent of restitution!" Everyone stepped to the side to let the president walk up to Chris's gave

"Started workin', clerkin' for his late mother's landlord. Tradin' sugar cane and rum and all the things he can't afford, scammin' for every book he can get his hands on, plannin' for the future see him now as he stands on the bow of a ship headed for a new land." Captain Jack Harkness smiles as he turns to everyone

"In New York you can be a new man." Ianto states

"In New York you can be a new man!" The Smith Sisters and Clara sang

"In New York you can be a new man!" Owen, Kitty, and The Doctor sang

"In New York you can be a new man." Abigail sang

"In New York you can be a new man
Just you wait!" The rest of the group sang, "Christopher Oswald!"

"We are waiting in the wings for you." Jack wraps an arm around Ianto and the other around Alex

"You could never back down." Maria frowns

"You never learned to take your time!" Alex adds

"Oh, Christopher Oswald." Gray pulls her wife Abigail to him away from her sister

"When America sings for you!" Abigail pushes Gray away

"Will they know what you overcame?" Kitty asks

"Will they know you rewrote your game?" Danny Pink glances at Clara

"The world will never be the same, oh!" Everyone but Gray sang

"The ship is in the harbor now." Iris smiles

"See if you can spot him." Isabella grabs Ianto's hand

"Another immigrant comin' up from the bottom." Kitty beams

"His enemies destroyed his rep America forgot him" Danny smirks

"We fought with him" Owen, Kitty, and Suzie sang

"Me, I died for him" Even Snow sings

"Me, I trusted him!" Jack sang

"Me, I loved him..." The Smiths Sisters, Clara, and Abigail stepped out of from the crowd. Alex's expression had clearly said that she still dreams about what would've happened if she didn't end up in this situation

"And me, I'm the damn fool that shot him!" Iris yells angry clearly on her face

"There's a million things I haven't done!" Chris whispers

"But just you wait." Iris turns to the group

"What's your name, man?" Ianto beams

"Christopher Oswald!" Everyone sang
