[00:11.79]Theodosia writes me a letter every day
[00:16.95]I’m keeping the bed warm while her husband is away
[00:22.20]He’s on the British side in Georgia
[00:24.87]He’s trying to keep the colonies in line
[00:27.82]But he can keep all of Georgia
[00:29.81]Theodosia, she’s mine
[00:32.85]Love doesn’t discriminate between the sinners and the saints
[00:36.57]It takes, and it takes, and it takes
[00:38.09]And we keep loving anyway
[00:40.00]We laugh, and we cry, and we break
[00:42.30]And we make our mistakes
[00:43.31]And if there’s a reason I’m by her side when so many have tried
[00:47.98]Then I’m willing to wait for it
[00:51.08]I’m willing to wait for it
[00:54.94]My grandfather was a fire, and brimstone preacher
[01:00.14]But there are things that the Homilies, and hymns won’t teach you
[01:06.03]My mother was a genius
[01:08.09]My father commanded respect
[01:11.15]When they died, they left no instructions
[01:13.80]Just a legacy to protect
[01:16.01]Death doesn’t discriminate between the sinners and the saints
[01:19.43]It takes, and it takes, and it takes
[01:21.12]And we keep living anyway
[01:23.30]We rise, and we fall, and we break
[01:25.03]And we make our mistakes
[01:26.26]And if there’s a reason I’m still alive when everyone who loves me has died
[01:31.12]I’m willing to wait for it
[01:33.84]I’m willing to wait for it
[01:37.34]Wait for it (wait, wait)
[01:40.47]I am the one thing in life I can control (wait, wait)
[01:45.81]I am inimitable, I am an original (wait, wait)
[01:51.15]I am not falling behind or running late (wait, wait)
[01:56.56]I am not standing still, I am lying in wait (wait for it, wait for it, wait for it)
[02:02.04]Hamilton faces an endless uphill climb (wait for it, wait for it, wait for it)
[02:07.24]He has something to prove, He has nothing to lose (wait for it, wait for it, wait for it)
[02:12.69]Hamilton’s pace is relentless, He wastes no time (wait for it, wait for it, wait for it)
[02:17.85]What is it like in his shoes?
[02:22.22]Hamilton doesn’t hesitate
[02:23.89]He exhibits no restraint
[02:25.35]He takes, and he takes, and he takes
[02:27.34]And he keeps winning anyway
[02:29.51]He changes the game
[02:30.79]He plays, and he raises the stakes
[02:32.73]And if there’s a reason he seems to thrive when so few survive
[02:36.69]Then, goddamn it, I’m willing to wait for it (wait)
[02:40.26]I’m willing to wait for it
[02:43.79]Life doesn’t discriminate between the sinners and the saints (ooh!)
[02:47.04]It takes, and it takes, and it takes
[02:48.86]And we keep living anyway
[02:51.07]We rise and we fall and we break
[02:52.95]And we make our mistakes
[02:54.29]And if there’s a reason I’m still alive when so many have died
[02:58.61]Then I’m willin’ to –
[03:03.60]Wait for it
[03:07.20]Wait for it
[03:10.57]Wait for it
[03:13.99]Wait for itYear of Release: 2021
