Текст песни Lin-Manuel Miranda - Hurricane

Hurricane
Lin-Manuel Miranda
In the eye of a hurricane
There is quiet
For just a moment
A yellow sky
When I was seventeen a hurricane
Destroyed my town
I didn't drown
I couldn't seem to die

I wrote my way out
                ()              
Wrote everything down far as I could see
         ()   
I wrote my way out
            ()                      
I looked up and the town had its eyes on me
 They passed a plate around
Total strangers
Moved to kindness by my story
Raised enough for me to book passage on a
           ()        
Ship that was New York bound...

I wrote my way out of hell
I wrote my way to revolution
I was louder than the crack in the bell
        ()                       
I wrote Eliza love letters until she fell
I wrote about The Constitution and defended it well
()                              
And in the face of ignorance and resistance
I wrote financial systems into existence
And when my prayers to God were met with indifference
I picked up a pen, I wrote my own deliverance

In the eye of a hurricane
There is quiet
For just a moment
A yellow sky
I was twelve when my mother died
She was holding me
We were sick and she was holding me
I couldn't seem to die

(Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it...)
I'll write my way out
Write ev'rything down, far as I can see
  I'll write my way out
Overwhelm them with honesty      
This is the eye of the hurricane, this is the 
Only way I can protect my legacy!
               A7sus                      
(Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it, wait!)
