[Burr]
Dear Theodosia what to say to you
"Wait, who are we talking about?" Asked Jefferson. "We are either talking about my wife or daughter." Burr answered with tears in his eyes.
You have my eyes
You have your mother's name
Burr let out a muffled cry. Alexander turned toward him and gave him a sympathetic smile.
When you came into the world you cried and it broke my heart
'He knows that that is normal, right?' Jefferson thought to himself, but didn't have the heart to voice them.

I'm dedicating everyday to you
Domestic life was never quite my style
"No it wasn't, but you still made it work." Washington said.
When you smile, you knock me out I fall apart and I thought I was so smart

You will come of age with our young nation
"Do you know how old she was when she passed away?" Lafayette asked. Burr shook his head no with tears streaming down his face.
We'll bleed and fight for you
"Why did we always have to bleed for everyone?" Hercules signed.
We'll make it right for you
If we lay a strong enough foundation
We'll pass it on to you
"We definitely did that." Jefferson commented.
We'll give the world to you and you'll blow us all away
Someday x2
Yeah you'll blow us all away
"Isn't that what you used to say to your son
Someday x2

[Hamilton]
Oh, Phillip when you smile I am undone, my son
Look at my son
"Lin sounds so proud talking about him. He is really good in this role."
Pride is not the word I'm looking for
"Or maybe he's not that proud." Lafayette continued.
There is so much more inside me now
"That is actually really cute."

Oh, Phillip you outshine the morning sun, my son
"Ok. I need to meet the person who made this. Because they just rhymed sun and son, which is just weird." Washington said with a smile on his lips.
When you smile, I fall apart and I thought I was so smart
"Are you saying you're stupid?" Jefferson asked Hamilton with raised eyebrows. Hamilton glared back.

My father wasn't around
Alex could feel his fist tightening at his side. He was really angry with his father.
[Burr]
My father wasn't around
Burr continued crying and Alex gave him a quick hug.

[Hamilton]
I swear that

[Both]
I'll be around for you
"You held that promise, right mom amis?" Alex could feel his eyes watering, while Burr nodded his head.

[Hamilton]
I'll do whatever it takes

[Burr]
I'll make a million mistakes
"And I did" Burr spoke up for the first time in the song.

[Both]
I'll make the world safe and sound for you
"We just didn't make it safe enough." Hamilton mumbled. The others, who hadn't been alive when Phillip died, looked at him with puzzled looks.

You'll come of age with our young nation
We'll bleed and fight for you
We'll make it right for you
If we lay a strong enough foundation
We'll pass it on to you
We'll give the world to you and you'll blow us all away
Someday x2
Yeah, you'll blow us all away
Someday, someday
"You really did Phillip, you really did.
