[00:11.03] Theodosia writes me a letter ev'ry day.
[00:15.77] I'm keeping her bed warm while her husband is away.
[00:20.50] He's on the British side in Georgia.
[00:23.31] He's tryin' to keep the colonies in line.
[00:25.77] But he can keep all of Georgia.
[00:27.52] Theodosia, she's mine.
[00:30.27] Love doesn't discriminate
[00:31.52] Between the sinners
[00:32.77] And the saints
[00:33.27] It takes and it takes and it takes
[00:35.29] And we keep loving anyway.
[00:37.52] We laugh and we cry and we break
[00:39.04] And we make our mistakes.
[00:40.26] And if there's a reason I'm by her side
[00:42.77] When so many have tried
[00:44.79] Then I'm willing to wait for it.
[00:47.54] I'm willing to wait for it.
[00:50.51] My grandfather
[00:51.83] Was a fire and brimstone
[00:53.07] Preacher, Preacher, preacher, preacher
[00:56.07] But there are things that the homilies and hymns
[00:58.57] Won't teach ya. Teach ya, teach ya, teach ya
[01:02.07] My mother was a genius, Genius
[01:03.83] My father commanded respect. Respect, respect
[01:06.32] When they died they left no instructions.
[01:08.58] Just a legacy to protect.
[01:11.33] Death doesn't discriminate
[01:12.81] Between the sinners and the saints
[01:14.32] It takes and it takes and it takes
[01:16.32] And we keep living anyway.
[01:18.32] We rise and we fall and we break
[01:19.82] And we make our mistakes.
[01:21.32] And if there's a reason I'm still alive
[01:23.57] When everyone who loves me has died
[01:26.08] I'm willing to wait for it.
[01:28.59] I'm willing to wait for it.
[01:31.82] Wait for it Wait for it
[01:32.82] Wait for it Wait for it
[01:34.57] I am the one thing in life I can control
[01:36.90] Wait for it Wait for it
[01:38.09] Wait for it Wait for it
[01:39.57] I am inimitable I am an original
[01:41.81] Wait for it Wait for it
[01:43.32] Wait for it Wait for it
[01:44.57] I'm not falling behind or running late
[01:47.34] Wait for it Wait for it

[01:49.88] I'm not standing still
[01:50.88] I am lying in wait Wait

[01:54.66] Hamilton faces an endless uphill climb Climb Climb Climb
[01:59.92] He has something to prove he has nothing to lose
[02:01.94] Lose Lose Lose Lose
[02:05.41] Hamilton's pace is relentless
[02:06.91] He wastes no time Time Time Time
[02:09.92] What is it like in his shoes?
[02:15.91] Hamilton doesn't hesitate.
[02:18.66] He exhibits no restraint.
[02:19.91] He takes and he takes and he takes
[02:22.42] And he keeps winning anyway.
[02:25.41] He changes the game.
[02:26.41] He plays and he raises the stakes.
[02:28.42] And if there's a reason
[02:29.68] He seems to thrive when so few survive
[02:31.90] Then Goddamnit I'm willing to wait for it.
[02:33.93] I'm willing to wait for it...
[02:35.43] I'm willing to wait for it...
[02:38.67] Life doesn't discriminate
[02:40.16] Between the sinners and the saints
[02:41.68] It takes and it takes and it takes.
[02:43.66] And we keep living anyway
[02:45.93] We rise and we fall and we break
[02:47.45] We fall and we make our mistakes.
[02:48.95] And if there's a reason I'm still alive
[02:51.48] When so many have died
[02:52.96] Then I'm willin' to- then I'm willin' to-
[02:57.78] Wait for it... Wait for it... Wait for it...
[02:58.53] Wait for it... Wait for it... Wait for it...
[03:00.02] Wait for it... Wait for it... Wait for it...
[03:02.29] Wait for it... Wait for it... Wait...
