[:Hamilton:]
In the eye of a hurricane
There is quiet
For just a moment
A yellow sky

When I was seventeen a hurricane
Destroyed my town
I didn't drown
I couldn't seem to die}

Jefferson's mouth gaped a bit, so did some of Alex's friends

I wrote my way out
Wrote everything down far as I could see
I wrote my way out
I looked up and the town had its eyes on me}

Jefferson frowned and started to rethink his actions toward the short Caribbean

{They passed a plate around
Total strangers
Moved to kindness by my story
Raised enough for me to book passage on a
Ship that was New York bound...

I wrote my way out of hell
I wrote my way to revolution
I was louder than the crack in the bell}

"You were a bit louder than that Lexi.." John rubbed his arm soothingly

{I wrote Eliza love letters until she fell}

John stopped rubbing and frowned a bit to himself, failing to hide his frown from Alexander

I wrote about The Constitution and defended it well
And in the face of ignorance and resistance
I wrote financial systems into existence
And when my prayers to God were met with indifference
I picked up a pen, I wrote my own deliverance}

Jefferson snapped out of his trance of solidarity and scoffed "we get it you like to write"

In the eye of a hurricane
There is quiet
For just a moment
A yellow sky

I was twelve when my mother died
She was holding me
We were sick and she was holding me
I couldn't seem to die}

John kissed his knuckles quickly and laced their hands together

[Burr:]
Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it...

[Hamilton:]
I'll write my way out...

[Burr and Ensemble:]
Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it...

[Hamilton:]
Write ev'rything down, far as I can see...

[Burr and Ensemble (Washington/Eliza/Angelica/Maria):]
Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it, wait... (History has its eyes on you)

[Hamilton:]
I'll write my way out...
Overwhelm them with honesty
This is the eye of the hurricane, this is the only
Way I can protect my legacy...}

Burr rolled his eyes

[Company (Except Hamilton):]
Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it, wait...

[Hamilton:]
The Reynolds Pamphlet}

Lafayette sighed "mon ami we get you went through a lot but Jesus you didn't really have to write a pamphlet"

"I know.."
