Wait for It |
| Theodosia writes me a letter everyday |
| I'm keeping the bed warm while her husband is away |
| He's on the British side in Georgia |
| He's trying 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 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 and brimstone preacher |
| But there are things that the |
| Homilies and hymns won't teach ya |
| My mother was a genius |
| My father commanded respect |
| When they died they left no instructions |
| Just a legacy to protect |
| Preacher, preacher |
| Preacher |
| Teach ya, teach ya, teach ya |
| Respect, respect |
| Genius |
| 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 |
| 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 something to prove |
| He has nothing 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? |
| 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, then 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 |
| When so many have died |
| Then I'm willin' to— |
| I'm willing to wait for it |
| Wait for it |
| Wait for... |
| I'm willing to— |
| Life 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 so many have died |
| Then I'm willin' to— |
| 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... |
