Never Give Your Heart Away [Workshop] Lin-Manuel Miranda (Ft. Doreen Montalvo)

[USNAVI]
When you talk about his pops
The conversation stops
The head drops
As Benny contemplates his fatherless existence
See daddy took the path of least resistance
Left mommy and Benny on public assistance
And Benny remembers the night like it was yesterday
Daddy screaming at mom
“Alma! There’s nothing left to say
I gave you the prom of my life, threw the rest away
I gotta go. Give the kid the best, okay?”
Benny’s witnessing the drama
Through a crack in the door
He sees his beautiful mama, Alma
Collapse to the floor
She’s screaming
“How much more, Señor, can I possibly take?”
And she notices her only son
Crying and wide awake
She told him

[ALMA]
Benny look in my eyes
We better have a little conversation
I wanna say this right
I know you heard my cries
Baby, I wanna tell you it's okay son
There will never be another fight
