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
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
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
I'm willing to wait for it (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 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?
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
I'm willing to wait for it (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
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—
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)
