Lin-Manuel Miranda - Tony Awards 2016: Best Book Acceptance Speech lyrics

This envelope says Lin, but it's not entirely Lin's Cause when you work with Tommy Kail, the best idea wins When Alex finds a place to cut, or Andy needs more bars You can't think this is mine, you can only think this is ours Is it 'are's or is it 'owr's, well it's hours of re-writing You talk Burr with Oskar and Jeffrey and keep igniting That spark into a flame, make a mark, arrange the frame Hit your target and change the game, earn the hyphen in your name You let Daveed Diggs turn your couplet into a triplet You give him the mic, he grips it and spits it, rips it and flips it You turn back to this envelope that says you win You think about your father and how scared he must have been When he came to New York City and he didn't speak the language So you give Hamilton all his hunger, genius, and anguish And you vanquish self-doubt by perfecting your lines of text Then you call Tommy Kail and you say, "What's next?" Thank you so much
