About

The song draws its title from a quote from Burr said later in his life. In Miranda’s words from Hamilton: The Revolution, “The notion of the world being wide enough for all of us is a heartbreaker, because it’s true. So I took out the Sterne and Voltaire and kept the heartbreaker.”

The World Was Wide Enough (2014 Workshop) Lyrics

Gunshot

[BURR]
I strike him right between his ribs
I walk towards him, but I am ushered away
They row him back across the Hudson
I get a drink

[COMPANY]
Aaaah
Aaaah
Aaaah

[BURR]
I hear wailing in the streets

[COMPANY]
Aaaah
Aaaah
Aaaah

[BURR]
Somebody tells me, “You’d better hide.”

[COMPANY]
Aaaah
Aaaah
Aaaah

[BURR]
They say

[BURR AND ANGELICA]
Angelica and Eliza—

[BURR]
Were both at his side when he died
Death doesn’t discriminate
Between the sinners and the saints
It takes and it takes and it takes
And history obliterates
In every picture it paints
It paints me and all my mistakes
And when Alexander aimed
At the sky
He may have been the first one to die
But I’m the one who paid for it

I survived, but I paid for it

Now I’m the villain in your history
I was too young and blind to see...
I should’ve known
Oh I should’ve known
The world was wide enough for both Hamilton and me
The world was wide enough for both Hamilton and me
