[ Aaron Burr ] Dear Theodosia, what to say to you? You have my eyes. You have your mother’s name
When you came into the world, you cried and it broke my heart
I’m dedicating every day to you Domestic life was never quite my style When you smile, you knock me out, I fall apart And I thought I was so smart
You will come of age with our young nation We’ll bleed and fight for you, we’ll make it right for you If we lay a strong enough foundation We’ll pass it on to you, we’ll give the world to you And you’ll blow us all away… Someday, someday Yeah, you’ll blow us all away Someday, someday
[ Alexander Hamilton ] Oh Philip, when you smile I am undone My son Look at my son. Pride is not the word I’m looking for
There is so much more inside me now Oh Philip, you outshine the morning sun My son When you smile, I fall apart And I thought I was so smart My father wasn’t around
[ Aaron Burr ] My father wasn’t around
[ Alexander Hamilton & Aaron Burr ] I swear that I’ll be around for you (I’ll be around for you)
[ Alexander Hamilton ] I’ll do whatever it takes
[ Aaron Burr ] I’ll make a million mistakes
[ Aaron Burr / Alexander Hamilton ] I’ll make the world safe and sound for you… …will come of age with our young nation We’ll bleed and fight for you, we’ll make it right for you
If we lay a strong enough foundation We’ll pass it on to you, we’ll give the world to you And you’ll blow us all away... Someday, someday Yeah, you’ll blow us all away Someday, someday
Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton sing of their hopes for the futures of their loved ones - for Burr being his daughter Theodosia and for Hamilton, his son, Philip. They vow to be there for their children, to substitute for the absence of their fathers during their childhoods.
