Wait For It Song Lyrics

[BURR]

Theodosia writes me a letter everyday

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 brimstone preacher

But there are things that the

Homilies and hymns won't teach ya

My mother was a genius

My father commanded respect

When they died they left no instructions

Just a legacy to protect

[MEN]

Preacher, preacher

Preacher

Teach ya, teach ya, teach ya

Respect, respect

[WOMEN]

Genius

[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

Wait for it

[ENSEMBLE]

Wait for it

[BURR]

I am the one thing in life I can control

[ENSEMBLE]

Wait for it

[BURR]

I am inimitable

I am an original

[ENSEMBLE]

Wait for it

[BURR]

I’m not falling behind or running late

[ENSEMBLE]

Wait for it

[BURR]

I’m not standing still

I am lying in wait

[ENSEMBLE]

Wait

[BURR]

Hamilton faces an endless uphill climb

[ENSEMBLE]

Climb

[BURR]

He has something to prove

He has nothing to lose

[ENSEMBLE]

Lose

[BURR]

Hamilton’s pace is relentless

He wastes no time

[ENSEMBLE]

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]

I'm willing to 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

We rise

We fall

And if there's a reason I'm still alive

When so many have died

Then I'm willin' to—

[COMPANY]

I'm willing to wait for it

Wait for it

Wait for...

I'm willing to—

Life 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 so many have died

Then I'm willin' to—

[BURR]

Wait for it...

[WOMEN]

Wait for it...

[MEN]

Wait for it...

Wait...
