lin-manuel miranda - ten things one thing كلمات الأغنية

[male company]
one two three four

[full company (except hamilton and burr)]
five six seven eight nine-

[burr]
there are ten things you need to know

[company]
number one!

[burr]
we rode across the hudson at dawn
my friend, william p. van ness signed on as my-

[company]
number two!

[burr]
hamilton arrived with his crew
nathaniel pendleton and a doctor that he knew

[company]
number three!

[burr]
i watched hamilton examine the terrain
i wish i could tell you what was happ’ning in his brain
just apologize, we have worthier pursuits!

[company]
most disputes die and no one shoots!
number four!

[burr]
hamilton drew first position
looking, to the world, like a man on a mission
this is a soldier with a marksman’s ability
the doctor turned around so he could have deniability

[company]
five!

[burr]
now, i didn’t know this at the time
but we were-
[burr]
in the same spot
your son died, is that why [hamilton]
in the same spot
my son died, is that why

[company]
six!

[burr]
he examined his gun with such rigor?
i watched as he methodically fiddled with the trigger

[company]
seven!

[burr]
confession time? here’s what i got:
my fellow soldiers’ll tell you i’m a terrible shot

[company]
number eight!

[burr/hamilton/ensemble men]
your last chance to negotiate
send in your seconds, see if they can set the record straight

[burr]
they won’t teach you this in your cl-sses
but look it up, hamilton was wearing his gl-sses
why? if not to take deadly aim?
that’s when i realized this was not a game
i had only one thought before the slaughter:
this man will not make an orphan of my daughter

[company]
number nine!

[burr]
look him in the eyes, aim no higher
summon all the courage you require
then count:

[company]
one two three four five six seven eight nine

[burr and company]
he aims his pistol at the sky-

[burr]
wait!

[company]
nine eight seven six five

[male company]
four three two-

[hamilton]
one last thought

[company]
number one!

[hamilton]
before we got in the boat to cross the hudson
i stopped to write a note
actually i wrote-

[hamilton and company]
two!

[hamilton]
just in case i didn’t make it through
i want the world to know what i intended to do

[company]
number three!

[hamilton]
if i shoot first, and throw it away
he has to yield, we both get to live another day
i know this puts me in a difficult spot
but i’ve got to throw away my shot

[company]
number four!

[hamilton]
i get lucky, i draw first position
i stand facing east as i load my ammunition
the sun is in my eyes, i am almost giddy
as i watch it slowly rise over my new york city

[company]
five!

[hamilton]
i start to shake when i realize
that we are-
[hamilton]
in the same spot
my son died, is that why [burr]
in the same spot
your son died, is that why

[company]
six!

[hamilton]
i examine the gun that we shared?
philip never hurt a soul, he must’ve been so scared

[company]
seven!

[hamilton]
my eliza is still asleep
i left her a letter, i could’ve written it better

[company]
number eight!

[burr/hamilton/ensemble men]
your last chance to negotiate
send in your seconds, see if they can set the record straight

[hamilton]
i put on my gl-sses, so i can see if burr is softening
i see him glaring back at me
he’s always hated dueling, hated confrontation
i never had his instinct for self-preservation
i feel a sense of calm fill me
it’s not in his political interest to k!ll me

[company]
nine!

[hamilton]
my last thought is of eliza
maybe i can get back home before she opens her eyes
they put us through our paces, we count to ten
god, i can’t wait to see her again

[company]
one two three four five six seven eight nine

[burr and company]
he aims his pistol at the sky-

[burr]
wait!
