BURR: Theodosia writes me a letter ev'ry day. I'm keeping her bed warm while her husband is away.
He's on the British side of Georgia. He's tryin' to keep the colonies in line. He can keep all of Georgia. Theodosia, she's 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 her side when so many have tried then I'm willing to wait for it. I'm willing to wait for it.
My grandfather was a fire of brimstone preacher,
MEN (interjected) Preacher Preacher Preacher
BURR But there are things that the homilies and hymns won't teach ya.
MEN (interjected) Teach ya Teach ya Teach ya
BURR My mother was a genius
WOMEN (interjected) Genius
BURR My father commanded respect.
MEN (interjected) Respect Respect
BURR 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. I'm willing to wait for it. Wait for it.
ENSEMBLE Wait for it Wait for it Wait for it

ENSEMBLE Wait for it Wait for it Wait for it Wait for it

BURR Hamilton faces an endless uphill climb
ENSEMBLE Climb Climb Climb
BURR He has something to prove
He has nothing to lose
ENSEMBLE Lose Lose Lose Lose
BURR Hamilton's pace is relentless he wastes no time
ENSEMBLE Time Time Time
BURR What's it like in his shoes? Hamilton doesn't hesitate. He exhibits no restraint. He takes and he takes and he takes and he keeps winning anyway. He changes the game. He plays and he raises the stakes. And if there's a reason he seems to thrive when so few survive, the Goddamnit-
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
