One two three four
five six seven eight nine
There are ten things
you need to know
Number one
We rowed across the Hudson at dawn
My friend William P Van Ness
signed on as my
Number two
Hamilton arrived with his crew
Nathaniel Pendleton
and a doctor that he knew
Number three
I watched Hamilton
examine the terrain
I wish I could tell you what was
happ'ning in his brain
This man has poisoned
my political pursuits
Most disputes die
and no one shoots
Number four
Hamilton drew first position
Looking to the world
like a man on a mission
This is a soldier
with a marksman's ability
The doctor turned around so
he could have deniability
Five
Now I didn't know this at the time
But we were
Near the same spot
your son died is thay why
Six
he examined his gun
with such rigor
I watched as he methodically
fiddled with the trigger
Seven
Confession time Here's what I got
My fellow soldiers'll tell you
I'm a terrible shot
Number eight
Your last chance to negotiate
Send in your seconds
See if they can set
the record straight
They won't teach you this
in your classes
But look it up
Hamilton was wearing his glasses
Why If not to take deadly aim
It's him or me
The world will never be the same
I had only one thought
before the slaughter
This man will not
make an orphan of my daughter
Number nine
Look him in the eye aim no higher
Summon all the courage you require
Then count
One two three four
five six seven eight nine
Number ten paces fire
I imagine death so much
it feels more like a memory
Is this where it gets me
On my feet sev'ral feet
ahead of me
I see it coming
Do I run or fire my gun
or let it be
There is no beat no melody
Burr my first friend my enemy
Maybe the last face I ever see
If I throw away my shot
Is this how you'll remember me
What if this bullet is my legacy
Legacy What is a legacy
It's planting seeds in a garden
you never get to see
I wrote some notes
at the beginning of a
song some one will sing for me
America you great
unfinished symphony
You sent for me
You let me make a difference
A place where even
orphan immigrants
can leave their fingerprints and
Rise up
I'm running out of time
I'm running and my
Time's up Wise up Eyes up
I catch a glimpse
of the other side
Laurens leads
a soldier's chorus on
the other side
My son is on the other side
He's with my mother
on the other side
Washington is watching
from the other side
Teach me how to say goodbye
Rise up Rise up Rise up
Eliza
My love take your time
I'll see you on the other side
Raise a glass to freedom
He aims his pistol at the sky-
Wait
I strike him right
between his ribs
I walk towards him
but I am ushered away
They row him back
across the Hudson
I get a drink
I hear wailing in the streets
Somebody tells me
You'd better hide
They say Angelica and Eliza
Were both at his side when he died
Death doesn't discriminate
Between the sinners and the saints
It takes and it takes and it takes
History obliterates
in every picture it paints
It paints me and all my mistakes
When Alexander aimed at the sky
He may have been
the first one to die
But I'm the one who paid for it
I survived but I paid for it
Now I'm the villain
in your history
I was too young and blind to see
I should've known
I should've known
The world was wide enough
for both Hamilton and me
The world was wide enough
for both Hamilton and me
