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
|
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
|
on
|
loving
|
anyway.
|
We
|
laugh
|
and
|
we
|
cry
|
and
|
we
|
break
|
and
|
we
|
make
|
our
|
mistakes
|
and
|
if
|
|
Lyric
|
there's
|
a
|
reason
|
I'm
|
by
|
her
|
side
|
when
|
so
|
many
|
have
|
tried
|
then
|
I'm
|
willingly
|
to
|
wait
|
for
|
it.

I'm
|
willingly
|
to
|
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.

Lyric

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.
|
I
|
am
|
the
|
one
|
thing
|
in
|
life
|
I
|
can
|
control.

(Wait

for

|
Lyric
|
wait
|
for

it,
|
wait
|
for

it,

wait

for

it.)
|
I
|
am
|
inimitable
|
I
|
am
|
an
|
original.
|
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.)
|
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
|
relentess,
|
he
|
wastes
|
no
|
time
|
|
Lyric
|
(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

I'm

willing

wait

Life
|
doesn't

discriminate

between

the

the

saints,

it

it

and

it

we

We

rise

(And

We

fall

(And

(And

And

if

there's

a

reason

I'm

still

alive
|
When

so

many

have

died.

Then

I'm

willin'
|
to-
|
Wait
|
for

it

(Wait

Wait

I was typing WILLING so many times and it just wasn't working!
