- Alexander Hamilton:
- How does a bastard, orphan, son of a whore and a scotsman, dropped in the middle of a forgotten spot in the Caribbean by providence, impoverished in squalor, grow up to be a hero and a scholar?
- Get your education, don't forget from whence you came, and the world's gonna know your name.
- There's a million things I haven't done, but just you wait.
- We are waiting in the wings for you. You could never back down, you never learned to take your time.
- Aaron Burr, Sir:
- My Shot:
- I'm just like my country, I'm young, scrappy and hungry.
- Only nineteen, but my mind is older.
- Rise up! When you're livin' on your knees, you rise up.
- I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory. When's it gonna get me? In my sleep, seven feet ahead of me? If I see it comin', do I run or do I let it be? Is it like a beat without a melody? See, I never thought I'd live past twenty. Where I came from, some get half as many.
- For the first time, I'm thinking past tomorrow!
- The Story Of Tonight:
- I may not live to see our glory, but I will gladly join the fight.
- Raise your glass to freedom, something they can never take away, no matter what they tell you.
- The Schuyler Sisters:
- There's nothing rich folks love more than going downtown and slummin' it with the poor.
- Look around, look around at how lucky we are to be alive right now.
- Farmer Refuted:
- Chaos and bloodshed already haunts us, honestly.
- For shame! For the revolution!
- I'd rather be divisive than indecisive.
- You'll Be Back:
- Cuz when push comes to shove, I will kill your friends and family to remind you of my love.
- Right Hand Man:
- Can I be real for a second? For just a millisecond? Let down my guard, and tell the people how I feel a second?
- Dying is easy, young man. Living is harder.
- A Winter's Ball:
- Is it a question of "if", Burr, or which one?
- Helpless:
- Look into your eyes and the sky's the limit.
- But then he shakes you hand and says, "Be true".
- I'll never forget my mother's face, that was real. And as long as I'm alive, Eliza, swear to God you'll never feel so- I DO, I DO.
- Satisfied:
- Intelligent eyes and a hunger-pang frame.
- You're like me, I'm never satisfied.
- I know my sister like I know my own mind, you'll never find anyone as trusting or as kind. If I tell her that I love him she'd be silently resigned, he'd be mine... She would say "I'm fine", she'd be lying.
- At least I keep his eyes in my life.
- The Story Of Tonight (reprise):
- If Alexander can get married, there's hope for our ass after all.
- Wait For It:
- Death doesn’t discriminate between the sinners and the saints. It takes, and it takes, and it takes and we keep living anyway. We rise, and we fall and we break, and we make our mistakes. And if there’s a reason I’m still alive when everyone who loves me has died, I’m willing to wait for it.
- I am the one thing in life I can control, I am inimitable, I am an original.
- I'm not falling behind or running late. I'm not standing still, I am lying in wait.
- He has something to prove, he has nothing to lose.
- Stay Alive:
- Ev'ryone attack! Retreat!
- Don't do a thing: history will prove him wrong.
- Ten Duel Commandments:
- Negotiate a peace... or negotiate a time and place.
- Pick a place to die where's high and dry.
- Pray that hell or heaven lets you in.
- Meet Me Inside:
- John shoulda shot him in the mouth. That woulda shut him up.
- Well, I don't have your name- I don't have your titles, I don't have your land.
- CALL ME SON ONE MORE TIME.
- That Would Be Enough:
- Look at where you are, look at where you started. The fact that you're alive is a miracle, just stay alive, that would be enough. And if this child shares a fraction of your smile or a fragment of your mind, look out world! That would be enough. I don’t pretend to know the challenges you’re facing, the worlds you keep erasing and creating in your mind... But I'm not afraid, I know who I married, so long as you come home at the end of the day... that would be enough.
- We don't need a legacy, we don't need money. If I could grant you peace of mind, if you cold let me inside your heart... Let me be a part of the narrative in the story they'll write someday. Let this moment be the first chapter: where you decided to stay.
- Guns And Ships:
- I go to France for more funds, I come back with more guns. And ships. And so the balance shifts.
- History Has Its Eyes On You:
- I made every mistake and I felt the shame rise in me. And even now I lie awake knowing history has its eyes on me.
- You have no control: who lives, who dies, who tells your story.
- I know that greatness lies in you.
- Yorktown (The World Turned Upside Down):
- Immigrants: we get the job done.
- We'll never be free until we end slav'ry.
- What Comes Next?:
- You're on your own: awesome, wow! Do you have a clue what happens now? Oceans rise, empires fall. It's much harder when it's all your call.
- Dear Theodosia:
- When you smile, you knock me out, I fall apart and I thought I was so smart.
- You'll blow us all away.
- You outshine the morning sun.
- My father wasn't around, I swear that I'll be around for you.
- I'll do whatever it takes, I'll make a million mistakes. I'll make the world safe and sound for you.
- Laurens' Interlude:
- I have so much work to do...
- Nons-top:
- How to account for his rise to the top? Man, the man is non-stop!
- Why do you write like you're running out of time?
- Corruption's such an old song that we sing along in harmony.
- Burr, we studied and we fought and we killed for the notion of a nation we now get to build. For once in your life, take a stand with pride: I don't understand how you stand to the side.
- HAMILTON WROTE THE OTHER 51.
- How do you write like tomorrow won't arrive? How do you write like you need it to survive?
- Look around, isn't this enough? He will never be satisfied. History has its eyes on you. Why do you fight like history has its eyes on you?
- I'm not throwin' away my shot (just you wait), I am Alexander Hamilton.
- What'd I Miss?:
- Thomas Jefferson's coming home!
- Lookin' at the rolling fields I can't believe that we are free.
- John Trubull:
- The reality is messier and richer, kids. The reality is not a pretty picture, kids.
- Cabinet Battle #1:
- These are wise words, enterprising men quote 'em. Don't act surprised, you guys, 'cuz I wrote 'em.
- And pray to God we never see Hamilton's candidacy.
- Would you like to join us or stay mellow, doin' whatever the hell it is you do in Monticello?
- Sittin' there useless as two shits. Hey, turn around, bend over- I'll show you where my shoe fits!
- Winning was easy, young man. Governing's harder.
- Take A Break:
- My name is Philip I am a poet.
- I practice French and play piano with my mother, I have a sister but I want a little brother, my daddy's trying to start America's bank... un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq!
- You won't be a ocean away, you'll only be a moment away.
- If you take your time, you will make your mark, close your eyes and dream when the night gets dark.
- Say No To This:
- She turned red, she led me to her bed, let her legs spread and say, "Stay?"
- But my God, she looks so helpless and her body's saying, "Hell yes".
- Half dressed, apologetic, a mess. She looked pathetic, she cried, "Please don't go, sir!"
- The Room Where It Happens:
- Two virginians and an immigrant walk into a room.
- No!one else was in the room where it happened.
- You get nothing if you wait for it, wait for it. God help and forgive me, I wanna build something that's gonna outlive me!
