In the act 1 closing song, Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton each share a tender moment with their newborn children. They both provide their children with lullaby like lyrics telling them that "someday"/ eventually they will create a legacy that will make a better world for their own children. It is a moment that they are reminded of how to continue to uphold their dignity as government officials and fathers. The use of the word "We'll" and "I'll" becomes a promise in a world of individual to take a single and turned into people fighting for it.
It is an incredibly tender moments of understanding and reassurance. This song beautifully wraps up the tension with new life and would make anyone smile, through the ultimate symbol of new life: a child.
