Theodore writes me a letter every day
(day, day, day)
I'm keeping his bed warm while his wife is away
(away, away, away)
She's on the British side in Georgia
She's tryna keep the colonies in line
Well she can keep all of Georgia
Theodore, he's mine
Love doesn't discriminate
Between the sinners and the saints
It takes and it takes and it takes
And we keep lovin' 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 willin' to wait for it
I'm willin' to wait for it
(wait for it, wait for it, wait for it)
My grandmother was a fire and brimstone preacher
(a preacher, a preacher, a 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
Death doesn't discriminate
Between the sinners and the saints
It takes and it takes and it takes
And we keep livin' 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
Then I'm willin' to wait for it
(wait for it)
I'm willin' 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)
I am inimitable I am an original
(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)
I'm not standing still I am lying in wait
(wait, wait, wait)
Hamilton faces an endless uphill climb
(climb, climb, climb, climb)
She has something to prove
She has nothing to lose
(lose, lose, lose, lose)
Hamilton's pace is relentless
She wastes no time
(time, time, time time)
What is it like in her shoes?
Hamilton doesn't hesitate
She exhibits no restraints
She takes and she takes and she takes
And she keeps winning anyway
Changes the game
Plays and she raises the stakes
And if there's a reason she seems to thrive
When so few survive
Then god dammit
I'm willin' to wait for it
(wait for it)
I'm willin' 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 winning anyway
We rise and we fall and we break 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 for it, wait for it, wait for it)
(wait)
