Stay Alive (REPRISE)

ENSEMBLE WOMEN
Stay alive…

HAMILTON
Where’s my son?!

DOCTOR
Mr. Hamilton, come in.
They brought him in a half an hour ago.
He lost a lot of blood on the way over

ENSEMBLE WOMEN
Stay alive...

HAMILTON
Is he alive?!

DOCTOR
Yes.
But you have to understand
The bullet entered just above his hip and
Lodged in his right arm

HAMILTON
Can I see him?
Please!

DOCTOR
I’m doing ev’rything I can, but the wound was
Already infected when he arrived—
