Hurricane Song Lyrics

[HAMILTON]

In the eye of a hurricane

There is quiet

For just a moment

A yellow sky

When I was seventeen a hurricane

Destroyed my town

I didn’t drown

I couldn’t seem to die

I wrote my way out

Wrote everything down far as I could see

I wrote my way out

I looked up and the town had its eyes on me

They passed a plate around

Total strangers

Moved to kindness by my story

Raised enough for me to book passage on a

Ship that was New York bound…

I wrote my way out of hell

I wrote my way to revolution

I was louder than the crack in the bell

I wrote Eliza love letters until she fell

I wrote about The Constitution and defended it well

And in the face of ignorance and resistance

I wrote financial systems into existence

And when my prayers to God were met with indifference

I picked up a pen, I wrote my own deliverance

In the eye of a hurricane

There is quiet

For just a moment

A yellow sky

I was twelve when my mother died

She was holding me

We were sick and she was holding me

I couldn’t seem to die

[BURR]

Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it…

[BURR AND ENSEMBLE]

Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it…

Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it, wait…

[HAMILTON]

I’ll write my way out…

Write ev’rything down, far as I can see…

I’ll write my way out…

Overwhelm them with honesty.

[WASHINTON/

ELIZA/ANGELICA/

MARIA]

History has its eyes on you.

[HAMILTON]

This is the eye of the hurricane, this is the only

Way I can protect my legacy…

[COMPANY (EXCEPT HAMILTON)]

Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it, wait…

[HAMILTON]
