Wait for It - Leslie Odom Jr./Original Broadway Cast of Hamilton

Lyrics by：Lin-Manuel Miranda

Composed by：Lin-Manuel Miranda

Theodosia writes me a letter every day

Day day

I'm keeping the bed warm while her husband is away

Away away

He's on the british side in georgia

He's trying to keep the colonies inline

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

Wait for it wait for it

My grandfather 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 mother was a genius genius

My father commanded respect respect respect

When they died they left no instructions

Just a legacy to protect

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

I'm willing to wait for it

Wait for it wait for it wait for it wait for it

I am the one thing in life I can control

Wait for it wait for it wait for it wait for it

I am inimitable

I am an original

Wait for it wait for it wait for it wait for it

I'm not falling behind or running late

Wait for it wait for it wait for it wait for it

I'm not standing still

I am lying in wait wait wait wait

Hamilton faces an endless uphill climb

Climb climb climb

He has something to prove

He has nothing to lose

Lose lose lose lose

Hamilton's pace is relentless

He wastes no time

Time time time

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

I'm willing to 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

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

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 for it wait for it

Wait
