[Author's Note: 2018 Hamilton phase go brrrr]

There are moments that the words don't reach.There is suffering too terrible to name.You hold your child as tight as you can.Then push away the unimaginable.

Sandman walks home.

The moments when you're in so deep
Feels easier to just swim down
And so they move uptown
And learn to live with the unimaginable

She cry's for her passed son

I spend hours in the garden
I walk alone to the store
And it's quiet uptown
I never liked the quiet before
I take the children to church on Sunday
A sign of the cross at the door
And I pray
That never used to happen before

If you see him in the street, walking by himself.Talking to himself, have pity

"You would like it uptown, it's quiet uptown"He tells Her.

He is working through the unimaginable

His hair has gone grey, he passes every day.

He passes the grave of his son

They say he walks the length of the city
You knock me out, I fall apart

Can you imagine?

"Look at where we are
Look at where we started
I know I don't deserve you
But hear me out, that would be enough
If I could spare his life
If I could trade his life for mine
He'd be standing here right now
And you would smile, and that would be enough
I don't pretend to know the challenges we're facing
I know there's no replacing what we've lost
And you need time
But I'm not afraid, I know who I married
Just let me stay here by your side
And that would be enough"

He says to her,She looks at him.

If you see him in the street, walking by her side.Talking by her side, have pity

"Do you like it uptown? It's quiet uptown"
He whispers

He is trying to do the unimaginable

See them walking in the park, long after dark
Taking in the sights of the city
Look around, look around, look around
They are trying to do the unimaginable
There are moments that the words don't reach
There's a grace too powerful to name
We push away what we can never understand
We push away the unimaginable
They are standing in the garden
Standing there side by side
She takes his hand
It's quiet uptown
Forgiveness, can you imagine?
Forgiveness, can you imagine?

If you see him in the street, walking by her side
Talking by her side, have pity
Look around, look around

They are going through the unimaginable
