Let me tell you what I wish I’d known

When I was young and dreamed of glory

You have no control, who lives, who dies, who tells your story?

President Jefferson

I’ll give him this, his financial system is a work of genius

I couldn’t undo it if I tried, and I tried

Who lives, who dies, who tells your story?

President Madison, he took our country from bankruptcy to prosperity

I hate to admit it

But he doesn’t get enough credit for all the credit he gave us

Who lives, who dies, who tells your story?

Every other founding father story gets told

Every other founding father gets to grow old

But when you’re gone, who remembers your name?

Who keeps your flame, who tells your story?

Who tells your story (who tells your story?)

(Eliza) I put myself back in the narrative

(Eliza) please stop wasting time on tears I live another fifty years, it’s not enough

(Eliza) I interview every soldier who fought by your side (she tells our story)

I try to make sense of your thousands of pages of writings

You really do write like you’re running out of time (time)

I rely on angelica

While she’s alive, we tell your story

She is buried in Trinity Church, near you

When I needed her most, she was right on time

And I’m still not through I ask myself, what would you do if you had more time? (time)

The Lord, in his kindness

He gives me what you always wanted

He gives me more time (time)

I raise funds in D.C. for the Washington Monument

She tells my story

I speak out against slavery

You could have done so much more if you only had time

And when my time is up, have I done enough?

Will they tell our story? (will they tell your story?)

Oh, can I show you what I’m proudest of?

(The orphanage)

I established the first private orphanage in New York City

(The orphanage)

I help to raise hundreds of children I get to see them growing up (the orphanage)

In their eyes I see you, Alexander

I see you every time

And when my time is up, have I done enough?

Will they tell my story? (will they tell your story?)

Oh, I can’t wait to see you again

It’s only a matter of time

(Will they tell your story?)

(Time)

(Who lives, who dies, who tells your story?)

(Time)

(Will they tell your story?)

(Time)

(Who lives, who dies, who tells your story?)

Bob, Jim, Joe

Another Post

Just another Hamilton post…

Look
Grandpa's in the paper
War hero Philip Schuyler loses senate seat to young upstart Aaron Burr
Grandpa just lost his seat in the senate

Sometimes that's how it goes

Daddy's gonna find out any minute

I'm sure he already knows

Further down

Further down

Let's meet the newest senator from New York

New York

Our senator

Burr
Since when are you a Democratic Republican

Since being one put me on the up and up again

No one knows who you are or what you do

They don't need to know me
They don't like you

Excuse me

Oh, Wall Street thinks you're great
You'll always be adored by the things you create
But upstate

Wait

People think you're crooked
Schuyler's seat was up for grabs so I took it

I've always considered you a friend

I don't see why that has to end

You changed parties to run against my father in law

I changed parties to seize the opportunity I saw
I swear your pride will be the death of us all
Beware, it goeth before the fall
