Tekst piosenki

[ENSEMBLE WOMEN] [HAMILTON] [DOCTOR] Stay alive… Where is my son? Mr. Hamilton, come in. They brought him here half an hour ago. Stay alive… Is he alive? He lost a lot of blood-
[DOCTOR]
Yes
But you have to understand
The bullet entered through his hip
And then it lodged into his left arm

[HAMILTON]
Can- Can I see him please?

[DOCTOR]
I’m doing ev’rything I can
But the wound was already infected
When he arrived—

[HAMILTON]
