[00:03.32]One two three four
[00:04.85]Five six seven eight nine—
[00:07.05]There are ten things you need to know
[00:09.38]Number one!
[00:09.83]We rowed across the Hudson at dawn
[00:12.21]My friend, William P. Van Ness signed on as my—
[00:15.24]Number two!
[00:15.95]Hamilton arrived with his crew:
[00:18.41]Nathaniel Pendleton and a doctor that he knew
[00:21.14]Number three!
[00:22.31]I watched Hamilton examine the terrain
[00:24.48]I wish I could tell you what was happ’ning in his brain
[00:27.64]This man has poisoned my political pursuits!
[00:30.82]Most disputes die and no one shoots!
[00:33.57]Number four!
[00:34.66]Hamilton drew first position
[00:37.19]Looking, to the world, like a man on a mission
[00:40.14]This is a soldier with a marksman’s ability
[00:43.16]The doctor turned around so he could have deniability
[00:45.95]Five!
[00:46.85]Now I didn’t know this at the time
[00:48.85]But we were—
[00:49.78]Near the same spot (Near the same spot)
[00:50.34]Your son died, is that (My son died, is that)
[00:52.11]Why—
[00:52.19]Six!
[00:52.78]He examined his gun with such rigor?
[00:55.30]I watched as he methodically fiddled with the trigger
[00:58.16]Seven!
[00:59.05]Confession time? Here’s what I got:
[01:01.00]My fellow soldiers’ll tell you I’m a terrible shot
[01:04.17]Number eight!
[01:05.15]Your last chance to negotiate
[01:07.51]Send in your seconds, see if they can set the record straight
[01:10.78]They won’t teach you this in your classes
[01:13.71]But look it up, Hamilton was wearing his glasses
[01:16.81]Why? If not to take deadly aim?
[01:19.75]It’s him or me, the world will never be the same
[01:22.94]I had only one thought before the slaughter:
[01:26.08]This man will not make an orphan of my daughter
[01:29.07]Number nine!
[01:29.91]Look him in the eye, aim no higher
[01:32.23]Summon all the courage you require
[01:34.50]Then count:
[01:35.31]One two three four five six seven eight nine
[01:38.84]Number ten paces! Fire!—
[01:42.22]I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory
[01:45.76]Is this where it gets me, on my feet, sev’ral feet ahead of me?
[01:50.94]I see it coming, do I run or fire my gun or let it be?
[01:54.94]There is no beat, no melody
[01:58.30]Burr, my first friend, my enemy
[02:01.81]Maybe the last face I ever see
[02:04.22]If I throw away my shot, is this how you’ll remember me?
[02:10.04]What if this bullet is my legacy?
[02:12.12]Legacy. What is a legacy?
[02:15.44]It’s planting seeds in a garden you never get to see
[02:19.27]I wrote some notes at the beginning of a song someone will sing for me
[02:22.56]America, you great unfinished symphony, you sent for me
[02:25.75]You let me make a difference
[02:28.13]A place where even orphan immigrants
[02:29.89]Can leave their fingerprints and rise up
[02:31.96]I’m running out of time. I’m running, and my time’s up
[02:34.24]Wise up. Eyes up
[02:36.82]I catch a glimpse of the other side
[02:39.21]Laurens leads a soldiers’ chorus on the other side
[02:42.67]My son is on the other side
[02:43.77]He’s with my mother on the other side
[02:46.08]Washington is watching from the other side
[02:48.87]Teach me how to say goodbye
[02:51.34]Rise up, rise up, rise up
[02:54.18]Eliza
[02:57.06]My love, take your time
[02:59.59]I’ll see you on the other side
[03:04.27]Raise a glass to freedom...
[03:08.60]He aims his pistol at the sky—
[03:09.87]Wait!
[03:15.11]I strike him right between his ribs
[03:19.23]I walk towards him, but I am ushered away
[03:25.41]They row him back across the Hudson
[03:31.94]I get a drink
[03:35.57]Aaaah
[03:39.20]I hear wailing in the streets
[03:41.84]Aaaah
[03:45.14]Somebody tells me, “You’d better hide.”
[03:47.22]Aaaah
[03:51.17]They say Angelica and Eliza-
[03:56.02]Were both at his side when he died
[03:59.21]Death doesn’t discriminate
[04:01.18]Between the sinners and the saints
[04:03.03]It takes and it takes and it takes
[04:05.64]History obliterates
[04:08.22]In every picture it paints
[04:09.55]It paints me and all my mistakes
[04:12.48]When Alexander aimed
[04:14.61]At the sky
[04:16.08]He may have been the first one to die
[04:18.11]But I’m the one who paid for it
[04:21.85]I survived, but I paid for it
[04:25.95]Now I’m the villain in your history
[04:32.09]I was too young and blind to see...
[04:38.92]I should’ve known
[04:40.95]I should’ve known
[04:43.40]The world was wide enough for both Hamilton and me
[04:51.20]The world was wide enough for both Hamilton and me
