Leslie Odom Jr - Dear Theodosia (Off Broadway) lyrics

[BURR] Dear Theodosia, what to say to you? You have my eyes. You have your mother's name When you came into the world, you cried and it broke my heart I'm dedicating every day to you Domestic life was never quite my style When you smile, you knock me out, I fall apart And I thought I was so smart You will come of age with our young nation We'll bleed and fight for you, we'll make it right for you If we lay a strong enough foundation We'll pa** it on to you, we'll give the world to you And you'll blow us all away… Someday, someday Yeah, you'll blow us all away Someday, someday [HAMILTON] Oh Philip, when you smile I am undone My son Look at my son. Pride is not the word I'm looking for There is so much more inside me now Oh Philip, you outshine the morning sun My son When you smile, I fall apart And I thought I was so smart My father wasn't around [BURR] My father wasn't around [HAMILTON] I swear that [BURR/HAMILTON] I'll be around for you [HAMILTON] I'll do whatever it takes [BURR] I'll make a million mistakes [BURR/HAMILTON] I'll make the world safe and sound for you… [BURR] [HAMILTON] Dear Theodosia, what to say to you? Oh Philip, when you smile I am undone You have my eyes You have your mother's name My son When you came into the world, Look at my son. you cried and it broke my heart Pride is not the word I'm looking for There is so much more inside me now I'm dedicating every day to you Oh Philip, you outshine the morning sun Domestic life was never quite my style My son [BURR/HAMILTON] When you smile You knock me out I fall apart And I thought I was so smart [BURR/HAMILTON/ENSEMBLE] You will come of age with our young nation We'll bleed and fight for you, we'll make it right for you If we lay a strong enough foundation We'll pa** it on to you, we'll give the world to you And you'll blow us all away… Someday, someday Yeah, you'll blow us all away Someday, someday
