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
Death doesn't discriminate between the sinners and the saints, it takes and it takes and it takes
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 while 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)
I am the one thing in life I can control
I am inimitable, I am an original
I'm not falling behind or running late
I'm not standing still, I am lying in wait
Hamilton faces an endless uphill climb
He has something to prove, he has nothing to lose
Hamilton's pace is relentless, he wastes no time
What is it like in his shoes?
Hamilton doesn't hesitate, he exhibits no restraint and he takes and he takes and he takes
And he keeps winning anyway, 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 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 while so many have died, then I'm willing to-
Wait for it
Wait for it
