Theodosia writes me a letter every day

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 you

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

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, wait)

I am the one thing in life I can control (wait, wait)

I am inimitable, I am an original (wait, wait)

I am not falling behind or running late (wait, wait)

I am not standing still, I am lying in wait (wait for it, wait for it, wait for it)

Hamilton faces an endless uphill climb (wait for it, wait for it, wait for it)

He has something to prove, He has nothing to lose (wait for it, wait for it, wait for it)

Hamilton's pace is relentless, He wastes no time (wait for it, wait for it, wait for it)

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, goddamn it, I'm willing to wait for it (wait)

I'm willing to wait for it

Life doesn't discriminate between the sinners and the saints (ooh!)

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
