Hamilton - Lyrics

Stay Alive (Reprise)

[ENSEMBLE WOMEN, HAMILTON, & DOCTOR]
Stay alive...
Stay alive... (Where's my son?)
Mr. Hamilton, come in. They brought him in a half an hour ago. He lost a lot of blood on the way over
Stay alive...
Is he alive?

[DOCTOR]
Yes. But you have to understand
The bullet entered just above his hip and
Lodged in his right arm

[HAMILTON]
Can I see him please?

[DOCTOR]
I'm doing everything I can, but the wound was already infected when he arrived-

[HAMILTON]
Philip

[PHILIP]
Pa
I did exactly as you said, Pa
I held my head up high

[HAMILTON &PHILIP]
I know, I know. Shh
I know, I know (High)
Shh. I know you did
Ev'rything just right
Shh (Even before we got to ten-)
I know, I know (I was aiming for the sky)
I know, I know (I was aiming for the sky)
I know
Save your strength and
Stay alive...

[ENSEMBLE MEN]
Stay alive...

[ELIZA]
No!

[HAMILTON]
Eliza

[ELIZA & ENSEMBLE MEN]
Is he breathing? Is he going to survive this? (Stay alive...)

[ELIZA]
Who did this, Alexander, did you know?

[PHILIP]
Mom, I'm so sorry for forgetting what you taught me

[ELIZA]
My son-

[PHILIP]
We played piano

[ELIZA]
I taught you piano

[PHILIP]
You would put your hands on mine

[ELIZA]
You changed the melody every time

[PHILIP]
Ha. I would always change the line

[ELIZA]
Shh. I know, I know

[PHILIP]
I would always change the line

[ELIZA]
I know, I know

[ELIZA & PHILIP]
Un deux trois quatre (Un deux trois quatre)
Cinq six sept huit neuf (Cinq six sept huit neuf)
Good
Un deux trois quatre
Cinq six sept
(Un deux trois...)
Huit neuf
Sept huit neuf-
Sept huit...
