ENSEMBLE 1:
Thirty-two thousand troops in
ENSEMBLE 2:
New York harbor Thirty-two thousand troops in

HAMILTON:
As a kid in the Caribbean I wished for a war
I knew that I was poor
I knew it was the only way to—
HAMILTON/BURR/MULLIGAN/LAURENS/LAFAYETTE:
Rise up!
HAMILTON:
If they tell my story
I am either gonna die on the battlefield in glory or—
HAMILTON/BURR/MULLIGAN/LAURENS/LAFAYETTE:
Rise up!
HAMILTON:
We will fight for this land
But there's only one man
Who can give us a command so we can—
HAMILTON/BURR/MULLIGAN/LAURENS/LAFAYETTE:
Rise up!
HAMILTON:
Understand? It's the only way to—
HAMILTON/BURR/MULLIGAN/LAURENS/LAFAYETTE:
Rise up! Rise up!
HAMILTON:
Here he comes!
ENSEMBLE:
Here comes the General!
BURR:
Ladies and gentlemen!
ENSEMBLE:
Here comes the General!
BURR:
The moment you've been waiting for!
ENSEMBLE:
Here comes the General!
BURR:
The pride of Mount Vernon!
ENSEMBLE:
Here comes the General!
BURR:
George Washington!
WASHINGTON:
We are outgunned
ENSEMBLE:
What?
WASHINGTON:
Outmanned
ENSEMBLE:
What?
WASHINGTON:
Outnumbered
Outplanned
ENSEMBLE:
Buck, buck, buck, buck, buck!
WASHINGTON:
We gotta make an all out stand
Ayo, I'm gonna need a
right-hand man.
ENSEMBLE:
Buck, buck, buck, buck, buck!
WASHINGTON:
Check it—
Can I be real a second?
For just a millisecond?
Let down my guard and tell the people how I feel a second?
Now I'm the model of a modern major general
The venerated Virginian veteran whose men are all
Lining up, to put me up on a pedestal
Writin' letters to relatives
Embellishin' my elegance and eloquence
But the elephant is in the room
The truth is in ya face when ya hear the British cannons go...
ENSEMBLE:
Boom!
WASHINGTON:
Any hope of success is fleeting
How can I keep leading when the people I'm
Leading keep retreating?
We put a stop to the bleeding as the British take Brooklyn
Knight takes rook, but look
WASHINGTON:
We are outgunned
ENSEMBLE:
what?
WASHINGTON:
Outmanned
