Lin-Manuel Miranda feat. Original Broadway Cast of Hamilton -
Hamilton (Original Broadway Cast Recording)
Hurricane
In the eye of a hurricane there is quiet
For just a moment
A yellow sky
When I was seventeen, a hurricane destroyed my town
I didn't drown, I couldn't seem to die
I wrote my way out
Wrote everything down far as I could see
I wrote my way out
I looked up and the town had its eyes on me
They passed a plate around
And total strangers
Moved to kindness by my story
Raised enough for me to book passage on a ship
That was New York bound
I wrote my way out of hell
I wrote my way to revolution
I was louder than the crack in the bell
I wrote Eliza love letters until she fell
I wrote about The Constitution and defended it well
And in the face of ignorance and resistance
I wrote financial systems into existence
And when my prayers to God were met with indifference
I picked up a pen, I wrote my own deliverance
In the eye of a hurricane there is quiet
For just a moment
A yellow sky
I was twelve when my mother died
She was holding me
We were sick, and she was holding me
I couldn't seem to die
Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it
I'll write my way out (Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it)
Write ev'rything down, far as I can see (Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it)
(History has its eyes on you)
I'll write my way out
Overwhelm them with honesty
This is the eye of the hurricane
This is the only way I can protect my legacy
Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it, wait
