"Stay Alive, Philip" lyrics

[Ensemble women:]
Stay alive...

[Hamilton:]
Where is my son?

[Doctor:]
Mr. Hamilton, come in
They brought him here half an hour ago
He lost a lot of blood...

[Hamilton:]
Is he alive?

[Doctor:]
Yes
But you have to understand
The bullet entered through his hip
And then it lodged into his left arm

[Hamilton:]
Can... Can I see him please?

[Doctor:]
I'm doing ev'rything I can
But the wound was already infected
When he arrived...

[Hamilton:]
Philip

[Philip:]
Pa
I did exactly as you said, Pop
I held my head up high

[Hamilton:]
I know, I know. Shh
I know, I know. Shh
I know you did ev'rything just right

[Philip:]
High

Even before we got to ten...

I was aiming for the sky

[Hamilton:]
I know, I know. Shh
I know, I know
I know
Save your strength and...
Stay alive...

[Eliza:]
Nooooooooo!

[Hamilton:]
Eliza!

[Eliza:]
I was sitting with the children in the garden

[Ensemble Men:]
Stay alive...

[Eliza:]
Who did this?
Alexander, did you know?

[Philip:]
Mom, I'm so sorry for forgetting what you taught me

[Eliza:]
My son...

[Philip:]
We played piano

[Eliza:]
I taught you piano

[Philip:]
You would put your hands on mine

[Eliza:]
You changed the melody every time

[Philip:]
Ha. I would always change the line

[Eliza:]
Shh. I know, I know

[Philip:]
I would always change the line

[Eliza:]
I know, I know...
Un deux trois quatre
Cinq six sept huit neuf

[Philip:]
Cinq six sept huit neuf

[Eliza:]
Un deux trois
Quatre
Cinq six sept
Huit neuf

[Philip:]
Un deux trois

[Eliza:]
Sept huit neuf...
Sept...
