Hamilton: An American Musical - Stay Alive (Reprise) Lyrics

[ENSEMBLE WOMEN]
Stay alive...
Stay alive...

Stay alive...

[HAMILTON]
Where's my son?

Is he alive?

[DOCTOR]
Mr. Hamilton, come in. They brought him in a half an hour ago. He lost a lot of blood on the way over.

[DOCTOR]
Yes. But you have to understand
The bullet entered just above his hip and
Lodged in his right arm

[HAMILTON]
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, Pa
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

Shh

I know, I know
I know, I know
I know

Save your strength and
Stay alive...
[PHILIP]
High

Even before we got to ten-

I was aiming for the sky

I was aiming for the sky

[ENSEMBLE MEN]
Stay alive...

[ELIZA]
No!

[HAMILTON]
Eliza
[ELIZA]
Is he breathing? Is he going to survive this? [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

Good

[PHILIP while ELIZA sings]
Un deux trois quatre
Cinq six sept huit neuf

[ELIZA]
Un deux trois quatre
Cinq six sept huit neuf

[PHILIP while ELIZA sings]
Un deux trois.. quatre.. Cinq.. six... sept

[ELIZA]
Sept huit neuf...?
Sept huit... (Screams)
