《The Spring of Next Year》歌词

[00:00:00] How does a bastard

[00:00:00] Orphan

[00:00:01] Son of a w***e and a Scotsman

[00:00:01] Dropped in the middle of a Forgotten spot in the Caribbean

[00:00:02] By providence

[00:00:03] Impoverished in squalor

[00:00:04] Grow up to be a hero and a scholar

[00:00:04] The ten dollar founding father without a father

[00:00:05] Got a lot farther by working a lot harder

[00:00:06] By being a lot smarter

[00:00:07] By being a self starter

[00:00:08] By fourteen

[00:00:08] They placed him in charge of a trading charter

[00:00:10] And every day while slaves were being slaughtered and carted

[00:00:12] Away across the waves he struggled and kept his guard up

[00:00:15] Inside he was longing for something to be a part of

[00:00:17] The brother was ready to beg steal borrow or barter

[00:00:19] Then a hurricane came and devastation reigned

[00:00:20] Our man saw his future drip dripping down the drain

[00:00:23] Put a pencil to his temple connected it to his brain

[00:00:25] And he wrote his first refrain a testament to his pain

[00:00:27] Well the word got around they said This kid is insane man

[00:00:28] Took up a collection just to send him to the mainland

[00:00:30] Get your education don't forget from whence you came and

[00:00:33] The world is gonna know your name

[00:00:33] What's your name man

[00:00:34] Alexander Hamilton

[00:00:35] My name is Alexander Hamilton

[00:00:36] And there's a million things I haven't done

[00:00:37] But just you wait just you wait

[00:00:38] When he was ten his father split full of it debt ridden

[00:00:39] Two years later see Alex and his mother bed ridden

[00:00:41] Half dead sittin' in their own sick the scent thick

[00:00:42] And Alex got better but his mother went quick

[00:00:43] Moved in with a cousin the cousin committed suicide

[00:00:44] Left him with nothin' but ruined pride something new inside

[00:00:46] A voice saying

[00:00:46] Alex you gotta fend for yourself

[00:00:47] He started retreatin' and readin' every treatise on the shelf

[00:00:50] There would have been nothin' left to do

[00:00:51] For someone less astute

[00:00:52] He woulda been dead or destitute

[00:00:53] Without a cent of restitution

[00:00:54] Started workin' clerkin' for his late mother's landlord

[00:00:56] Tradin' sugar cane and rum and all the things he can't afford

[00:00:58] Scammin' for every book he can get his hands on

[00:01:00] Plannin' for the future see him now as he stands on

[00:01:01] The bow of a ship headed for a new land

[00:01:02] In New York you can be a new man

[00:01:03] In New York you can

[00:01:03] Be a new man

[00:01:04] Just you wait

[00:01:04] In New York you can

[00:01:05] Be a new man

[00:01:05] Just you wait

[00:01:06] In New York you can be a new man

[00:01:07] In New York

[00:01:07] New York

[00:01:07] Just you wait

[00:01:08] Alexander Hamilton

[00:01:08] Alexander Hamilton

[00:01:11] We are waiting in the wings for you

[00:01:11] You could never back down

[00:01:12] You never learned to take your time

[00:01:13] Oh Alexander Hamilton

[00:01:22] Alexander Hamilton

[00:01:23] When America sings for you

[00:01:24] Will they know what you overcame

[00:01:26] Will they know you rewrote the game

[00:01:27] The world will never be the same oh

[00:01:29] The ship is in the harbor now

[00:01:30] See if you can spot him

[00:01:32] Another immigrant

[00:01:32] Comin' up from the bottom

[00:01:33] His enemies destroyed his rep

[00:01:35] America forgot him

[00:01:36] We fought with him

[00:01:36] Me I died for him

[00:01:37] Me I trusted him

[00:01:38] Me I loved him

[00:01:39] And me I'm the d**n fool that shot him

[00:01:40] There's a million things I haven't done

[00:01:44] But just you wait

[00:01:45] What's your name man

[00:01:49] Alexander Hamilton
