[Everyone else] If you had to choose If you had to choose It’s a tie! If you had to choose If you had to choose It’s up to the riders! If you had to choose If you had to choose It’s up to Cardulo!

If you had to choose (Sorrengail or Assembly?) If you had to choose If you had to Choose (Choose) Choose (Choose) Choose! (Choose!)

[Imogen] Yo

[Everyone else] Oh!

[Imogen] The people are asking to hear my voice

[Everyone else] Oh!

[Imogen] For the revolution is facing a difficult choice

[Everyone else] Oh!

[Imogen] And if you were to ask me who I’d promote—

[Everyone else] Oh!

[Imogen] —Sorrengail has my vote

[Everyone else] Oh!

[Imogen] I have never agreed with Sorrengail once

[Everyone else] Oh!

[Imogen] We have fought on like seventy-five diff’rent fronts

[Everyone else] Oh!

[Imogen] But when all is said and all is done Sorrengail has beliefs. The Assembly has none

[siobreads]

now bodhi's the duke's right hand, who never had time for a wife

and he's talking with garrick, who's still in the army and probably will be for life

and imogen is practising politics

as xaden slowly gets stoned

yeah they're sharing a drink they call loneliness, but it's better than drinking alone

[siobreads]

so bodhi and xaden coded

"and if the tomcat can get married, if Garrick can get married there's hope for our asses after all"

[siobreads]

garrick, imogen and bodhi as aaron burr in hamilton - specifically wait for it

All: Violet writes us letters every day We're keeping the fight alive while her husband is away He's on the venin side in the Barrens He's trying to keep the his loyalty inline But he can keep all of the Barrens Tyrrendor, she's ours

Garrick: Love doesn't discriminate Between the sinners and the saints It takes and it takes and it takes And we keep loving anyway We laugh and we cry and we break And we make our mistakes And if there's a reason I'm by Im's side When so many have tried Then I'm willing to wait for it I'm willing to wait for it

My grandfather was a fire and brimstone preacher (Preacher, Preacher, Preacher) But there are things that the Homilies and hymns won't teach ya (Teach ya, Teach ya, Teach ya) My mother was a genius (Genius) My father commanded respect (Respect, Respect) When they died they left no instructions Just a legacy to protect

Imogen: Death doesn't discriminate Between the sinners and the saints It takes and it takes and it takes And we keep living anyway We rise and we fall and we break And we make our mistakes And if there's a reason I'm still alive When everyone who loves me has died I'm willing to wait for it (Wait for it) I'm willing to wait for it I am the one thing in life I can control

Bodhi: (Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it, wait for it) I am inimitable I am an original

Garrick: I'm not falling behind or running late (Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it, wait for it)

Imogen: I'm not standing still

All: I am lying in wait (Wait, wait, wait)

Bodhi: Xaden faces an endless uphill climb (Climb, climb, climb) He has something to prove He has nothing to lose (Lose, lose, lose, lose) Xaden's pace is relentless He wastes no time (Time, time, time) What is it like in his shoes?

Xaden doesn't hesitate He exhibits no restraint He takes and he takes and he takes And he keeps winning anyway He changes the game He plays and he raises the stakes And if there's a reason He seems to thrive when so few survive, then Goddamnit I'm willing to wait for it (Wait for it) I'm willing to wait for it

Life doesn't discriminate Between the sinners and the saints It takes and it takes and it takes (And we keep living anyway) We rise (and we fall) We fall (and we break) (And we make our mistakes) And if there's a reason I'm still alive When so many have died

Then I'm willin' to- Wait for it (Wait for it, wait for it) Wait for it (Wait for it, wait for it) (Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it, wait for it, wait for it) (Wait)
