Stay Alive (Reprise) Lyrics – Hamilton

[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 everything 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

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

Good
Un deux trois quatre
Cinq six sept
Huit neuf
Sept huit neuf—
Sept huit…
[PHILIP]
Un deux trois quatre
Cinq six sept huit neuf

[PHILIP]
Un deux trois…

[Eliza]
