The World Was Wide Enough by Leslie Odom, Jr., Lin-Manuel Miranda & Original Broadway Cast of "Hamilton" Song Lyrics
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine
There are ten things you need to know (number one)
We rowed across the Hudson at dawn
My friend, William P. Van Ness signed on as my (number two)
Hamilton arrived with his crew
Nathaniel Pendleton and a doctor that he knew (number three)
I watched Hamilton examine the terrain
I wish I could tell you what was happening in his brain
This man is poisoned by political pursuits
Most disputes die and no one shoots (number four)
Hamilton drew first position
Looking to the world like a man on a mission
This is a soldier with a marksman's ability
The doctor turned around so he could have deniability (five)
Now I didn't know this at the time
But we were near the same spot your (my) son died, is that why? (Six)
He examined his gun with such rigor
I watched as he methodically fiddled with the trigger (seven)
Confession time, here's what I got
My fellow soldiers'll tell you I'm a terrible shot (number eight)
Your last chance to negotiate
Send in your seconds, see if they can set the record straight
They won't teach you this in your classes
But look it up, Hamilton was wearing his glasses
Why? If not to take deadly aim
It's him or me, the world will never be the same
I had only one thought before the slaughter

Great. I love it
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING ⭐️🖤. Where to begin? Well I’ll say this: Hamilton is the best musical that has ever been written. I must admit I was a little skeptical first, but after you watch/listen to it, it will change your life!! I now know so much about Alexander Hamilton and I have so many questions about him! This musical truly is learning in disguise, and Lin-Manuel is so talented! (:
Skeeps. Garbage…. Isn’t catchy and copies In the Heights
Just…just buy it..it’s so so good. I swear I’ve listened to all of these songs so many times and I’ve watched musical ( on Disney+ ) like 20 times and I love it so I definitely needed this

A sweeping epic of incredible ambition. Listening to Hamilton for the first time rings all the same bells that gens X and Y will remember from the OBC of Rent. Though Rent has since gone on to age badly and has proven itself far less influential than first expected, Hamilton, now, feels like a definitive landmark and a shift in ambition for what a Broadway musical can be. Gloriously orchestrated, Hamilton meticulously fuses hip hop and rnb with music theatre and reveals that together these genres possess a skilful and haunting narrative edge. Combine this with the incendiary performances of Lin Manuel Miranda, Phillipa Soo, Leslie Odom Jnr and Jonathan Groff and you have a cast recording that quite simply ignites. Odom Jnr's performance as Aaron Burr is nothing short of revelatory - career defining, he's a dead cert for the 2016 Tony Awards. Groff expunges his irritating persona from Glee with a comic turn as George III of England that comes dangerously close to stealing the show. As the title character, writer/composer LMM's energy and passion are absolutely infectious. His performance is a warts and all representation of the American founding father that fits neatly into the ensemble even as it wars with Odom Jnr's Burr to overwhelm it. It's an electrifying dynamic that - if this recording is anything to go by - must be quite simply gargantuan on stage. The power of LMM as a lyricist is on full display here - overwhelming his two previous efforts. The spontaneity of the hip hop score brings an awesome power to the events on display of which their author is well aware. There are moments of shattering realism, incredible emotion, hilarity and violence - and all within a narrative that moves at breakneck pace. It's a spectacle on par with West Side Story that still retains the intellectual clarity of 1776 and the intimacy of Sunday in the Park with George. If Hamilton can be cited as having any obvious flaws, it's second Act is interminable. Following the two cabinet battles and the election of the Adams administration, the book hits a decided slump. LMM submits to biographical completism and the show slams on the breaks till the Hamilton-Burr duel in a way that has not translated well to the record. By the final curtain you can't help but be exhausted - but then half a century of unending American patriotism can have that effect on the most eager listener. Despite the underdog at the core of the story, and lyrics such as "immigrants - we get the job done," Hamilton is still over two hours of red, white and blue Americana. It does the show and its performers enormous credit that this retains its personal edge and fails at any point to become patronising. It says a great deal about the US today, and US politics, that a story of an 18th century political leader feels more suited to this modern (almost futuristic) score than any figure to have held high office in almost a century. The true genius of Hamilton is its call to action intensity of an America that inspired great deeds and found its heroes in the most unlikely places. Hamilton is a musical for the history books and its original Broadway cast recording already has a mythic quality to it. This is a show of which we are certain to hear a great deal more for a very long time.
OH MY GOD THIS IS THE BEST. THIS SOOOOO GOOD TOU NEED TO GET THIS
Astonishing at every moment. Hamilton will grab your attention at the first song and hold you with its rhythms and melodies and phrases until the final note. I am blown away each time I hear it. Recommended without hesitation.
Hamilton. I lOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Converted. Heard about it. Didn't think I could possibly be interested in a hip hop musical about an American founding father... How wrong I was. After seeing Miranda's knockout passionate performance on Neil Oliver's show pleading with the American people to help salvage his native Puerto Rico I gave this musical a spin, and it is very very good. Passionate, energetic, funny, musically diverse. Forget what you may think about rap and hip hop. This is a work of genius. This immigrant... he got the job done!
