Hamilton - An American Musical
gracehayes for Eliza Schuyler Hamilton
(Also if you wanted to add a small clip of yourself singing part of Burn, that'd be cool. Brownie points for you)
Middle daughter of Philip Schuyler, Eliza is sweeter and more passive than Angelica, but falls for Hamilton just as easily
Look at where you are
Look at where you started
The fact that you’re alive is a miracleJust stay alive, that would be enough
And if this child
Shares a fraction of your smile
Or a fragment of your mind, look out world!That would be enough
I have never been the type to try and grab the spotlight
We were at a revel with some rebels on a hot night
Laughin’ at my sister as she’s dazzling the room
Then you walked in and my heart went “Boom!”
Tryin’ to catch your eye from the side of the ballroom
Everybody’s dancin’ and the band’s top volume
Grind to the rhythm as we wine and dineGrabe my sister and whisper
"Yo, this one's mine"
Your son is nine years old today
And he has something that he’d like to say
He’s been practicing all day
Philip, take it away—
Thank you so much for your audition! Brownie points to you!
Thank you, this was so much fun to record :)
