Lyrics Lin–Manuel Miranda – Stay Alive, Philip
Text:
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
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…
