Cheer us up, oh wise one!
Lin-Manuel Miranda offered a distraction from the fact that our country is going up in flames by sharing rough drafts of Hamilton songs via Twitter Friday.

We’re so grateful!
First up was a first draft of Right Hand Man, which he wrote in Montauk in 2010. Seven years ago! It’s amazing to see how far he’s come since then.
Hamilton is now an international sensation with its own “mixtape,” and Lin-Manuel is a major star. It’s hard to imagine him hunkered over a piece of paper, jotting down lyric ideas all those years ago, with no idea how famous he would one day become.
Just more proof you should follow your dreams and never give up!
Listen to first drafts of The Story of Tonight, Congratulations, Your Obedient Servant, and Guns & Ships (below).
