Wait for it

(Anna Burr)
Theodosia writes me a letter every day
I'm keeping the bed warm while his wife is away
She's on the British side in Georgia
She's trying to keep the colonies in line
But she can keep all of Georgia
Theodosia, he'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 his side
When so many have tried
Then I'm willing to wait for it
I'm willing to wait for it

(Anna Burr & Women & Men)
My grandmother was a fire and brimstone preacher
Preacher, preacher, preacher
But there are things that the homilies and hymns won't teach ya
Teach ya, teach ya, teach ya
My father was a genius (genius)
My mother commanded respect (respect, respect)
When they died they left no instructions Just a legacy to protect

(Anna 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
I'm willing to wait for it

Wait for it

Hamilton faces an endless uphill climb

(Ensemble)
Climb

She has something to prove
She has nothing to lose

Hamilton's pace is relentless
She wastes no time

(Ensemble)
Time
Time
Time

(Anna Burr)
What is it like in her shoes?

Hamilton doesn't hesitate
She exhibits no restraint
She takes and she takes and she takes
And she keeps winning anyway
She changes the game
She plays and she raises the stakes
And if there's a reason
She seems to thrive when so few survive, then Goddamnit—

(Anna Burr & Company)
I'm willing to wait for it
Wait for it, 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
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—
