Wait For It

[BURR]

Theodosia writes me a letter every day

I'm keepin' her bed warm while her husband is away

He's on the British side in Georgia

He's tryin' to keep the colonies in line

But 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 lovin' 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

[BURR, MEN & WOMEN]

My grandfather was a fire and brimstone preacher

(Preacher, preacher, preacher)

But there are things that the homilies and hymns won't teach ya

(Teach ya, teach ya, teach ya)

My mother was a genius (Genius)

My father commanded respect (Respect, 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 livin' 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

[BURR & MEN]

I'm willing to wait for it (Wait for it)

[BURR & ENSEMBLE]

I'm willing to wait for it

[BURR & MEN]

Wait for it

[BURR, MEN, WOMEN, FULL ENSEMBLE]

Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it

I am the one thing in life I can control

Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it, wait for it

I am inimitable, I am an original

Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it, wait for it

I'm not falling behind or running late

Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it, wait for it

I'm not standing still, I am lying in wait

Wait, wait, wait

Hamilton faces an endless uphill climb

Climb, climb, climb

He has somethin' to prove, he has nothin' to lose

Lose, lose, lose, lose

Hamilton's pace is relentless, he wastes no time

Time, time, time

What is it like in his shoes?

[BURR]

Hamilton doesn't hesitate

He exhibits no restraint

He takes and he takes and he takes

And he keeps winning anyway

Changes the game

Plays and he raises the stakes

And if there's a reason he seems to thrive

When so few survive, then goddamnit

[BURR & COMPANY, WOMEN]

I'm willing to wait for it (Wait for it)

[BURR & COMPANY, BURR]

I'm willing to wait for it

[BURR, COMPANY, BURR & COMPANY]

Life doesn't discriminate

Between the sinners and the saints

It takes and it takes and it takes

And we keep livin' anyway

(We rise) We rise and we fall and we break

(And we fall) And we make our mistakes

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

When so many have died

Then I'm willin' to—

[BURR, MEN & WOMEN]

Wait for it (Wait for it, wait for it)

Wait for it (Wait for it, wait for it)

(Wait for it, wait for it)

(Wait for it, wait for it)

(Wait for it, wait)
