Lyrics Lin–Manuel Miranda – Dear Theodosia (Reprise)
Text:
Burr:
Dear Theodosia, how to say to you
Sometime last night, your mother breathed your name
And like a flame that flickers out too soon, she died
She’s gone
She dedicated every day to you
She changed my life, she made my life worthwhile
And when you smile
I know a part of her lives on
I know I can go on
You have come of age with our young nation
We bleed and fight for you
Sometimes it seems that’s all we do
And you and I will build a strong foundation
And I’ll be here for you
The way is clear for you to blow us all away
Someday, someday, yeah you’ll blow us all away
Someday, someday…
