Wait For it 2014 Workshop
Lin-Manuel Miranda
[BURR]
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            [BURR]                          My grandfather                          was a fire and                                   brimestone                    [MEN]                          preacher      Preacher, preacher, preacher                                              But there are                          things that the                          homilies and                          hymns won't teach      Teach ya, teach ya                    ya      teach ya                                                          [WOMEN]                    My mother was a            Genius              genius                                                    My father      Respect, respect                             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]
Wait for it

I am the one thing in life I can control

I am inimitable
I am an original

Wait for it
Wait for it
Wait for it

I’m not standing still
I am lying in wait

[ENSEMBLE]

Hamilton faces an endless uphill climb

[ENSEMBLE]
Climb
Climb
Climb
[BURR]
He has something to prove
He has nothing to lose

[ENSEMBLE]
Lose
Lose
Lose
Lose

[BURR]
Hamilton’s pace is relentless
He wastes no time

[ENSEMBLE]
Time
Time
Time

[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—            [BURR]      [COMPANY]              I'm willing to wait for it              I'm willing to wait for it                                  Wait for it                                  Wait for...
