Lyrics[]

[HAMILTON]
I may not live to see our glory!

[MULLIGAN, LAFAYETTE, & LAURENS]
I may not live to see our glory!

[HAMILTON]
But I will gladly join the fight

[MULLIGAN, LAFAYETTE, & LAURENS]
But I will gladly join the fight

[HAMILTON]
And when our children tell our story...

[MULLIGAN, LAFAYETTE, & LAURENS]
And when our children tell our story...

[HAMILTON]
They'll tell the story of tonight

[MULLIGAN]
Let's have another round tonight

[LAFAYETTE]
Let's have another round tonight

[HAMILTON]
Let's have another round tonight

[LAURENS]
Raise a glass to freedom...
Something they can never take away
No matter what they tell you
Raise a glass to the four of us

[LAURENS & MULLIGAN]
Tomorrow they'll be more of us

[MULLIGAN, LAURENS, & LAFAYETTE]
Telling the story of tonight

[HAMILTON]
They'll tell the story of tonight

[MULLIGAN, LAURENS, & LAFAYETTE]
Raise a glass to freedom
Something they can never take away

[HAMILTON]
No matter what they tell you

[MULLIGAN & LAFAYETTE]
Let's have another round tonight

[LAURENS]
Raise a glass to the four of us

[HAMILTON, LAURENS, LAFAYETTE, & MULLIGAN]
Tomorrow they'll be more of us

[HAMILTON & LAURENS]
Telling the story of tonight

[MULLIGAN & LAFAYETTE]
Let's have another round tonight


[HAMILTON, LAURENS, & ENSEMBLE]
They'll tell the story of tonight
They'll tell the story of tonight
They'll tell the story of tonight


[MULLIGAN, LAFAYETTE, & ENSEMBLE]
Raise a glass to freedom
Raise a glass to freedom

They'll tell the story of—

[FULL ENSEMBLE]
Tonight...
