lin-manuel miranda - wait for it (off-broadway) lyrics

[burr]
theodosia writes me a letter every day
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
brimestone [men]
preacher preacher, preacher, preacher

but there are
things that the
homilies and
hymns won’t teach teach ya, teach ya
ya teach ya

[women]
my mother was a g*nius
g*nius

my father respect, respect
commanded
respect

when they died
they left no
instructions
just a legacy to
protect

[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

[ensemble]
wait for it
wait for it
wait for it

[burr]
i am the one thing in life i can control

[ensemble]
wait for it
wait for it
wait for it
wait for it

[burr]
i am inimitable
i am an original

[ensemble]
wait for it
wait for it
wait for it
wait for it

[burr]
i’m not falling behind or running late

[ensemble]
wait for it
wait for it
wait for it
wait for it

[burr]
i’m not standing still
i am lying in wait

[ensemble]
wait
wait
wait

[burr]
hamilton faces an endless uphill climb

[ensemble]
climb
climb
climb

[burr]
he has something to prove
he has nothing to lose

[ensemble]
lose
lose
lose
lose

[burr]
hamilton’s pace is relentless
he wastes no time

[ensemble]
time
time
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 godd-mnit—
[burr] [company]
i’m willing to wait for it i’m willing to wait for it
wait for it
wait for…
i’m willing to wait for it… i’m willing to—

life doesn’t discriminate life doesn’t discriminate
between the sinners and the between the sinners and the
saints saints
it takes and it takes and it it takes and it takes and it
takes takes
and we keep living anyway
we rise and we fall and we we rise and we fall and we
break break
and we make our mistakes and we make our mistakes
and if there’s a reason i’m and if there’s a reason i’m
still alive still alive
when so many have died when so many have died
then i’m willin’ to— then i’m willin’ to—
[burr]
wait for it… [women]
wait for it… [men]
wait for it…
wait for it…
wait for it…
wait for it…
wait for it…
wait for it…
wait for it…
wait for it…
wait for it…
wait…
