Wait For It [German translation]

[BURR]

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

[BURR]

My grandfather was a fire and brimstone preacher

[MEN]

Preacher, preacher

[BURR]

But there are things that the

Homilies and hymns won't teach ya

[MEN]

Teach ya, teach ya, teach ya

[BURR]

My father commanded 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 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]

Hamilton faces an endless uphill climb

[ENSEMBLE]

Climb

He has something to prove

He has nothing to lose

[BURR]

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—
