Act I; Scene I
Enter Armando Fonseca, Carlos Pardo, Martin Cicerón, Ismael Sainz, Christopher Ordóñez, Fernando Alvarado, Victoria Atenas, and Company
Armando Fonseca
How does a bastard, poor man, son of a whore and a
Aleman, dropped in the middle of a forgotten
Spot in the Phoenix Sea by providence, impoverished, in squalor
Grow up to be a hero and a scholar?
Carlos Pardo
And every day while rebels were being slaughtered and carted
Away across the waves, he struggled and kept his guard up
Inside, he was longing for something to be a part of
The brother was ready to beg, steal, borrow, or barter
Ismael Sainz
Then a hurricane came, and devastation reigned
Our man saw his future drip, dripping down the drain
Put a pencil to his temple, connected it to his brain
And he wrote his first refrain, a testament to his pain
Fonseca
Well, the word got around, they said, “This kid is insane, bruh”
Took up a collection just to send him to Sierra
“Get your education, don’t forget from whence you came, and
The world's gonna know your name. What’s your name, man?”
Christopher Ordóñez
Christopher Ordóñez
My name is Christopher Ordóñez
And there's a million things I haven't done
But just you wait, just you wait...
Victoria Atenas (Ordóñez)
When he was ten his parents split, full of it, mess ridden
Two years later, see Christoph and his sister bed-ridden
Half-dead sittin' in their own sick, the scent thick
FULL COMPANY EXCEPT ORDONEZ (whispering)
And Chris got better but his sister went quick
Fernando Alvarado & COMPANY, BOTH
Moved in with a brother, the brother committed suicide
Left him with nothin' but ruined pride, something new inside
He started retreatin' and readin' every treaty on the shelf
Fonseca & COMPANY, BOTH
There would have been nothin’ left to do
For someone less astute
He woulda been dead or destitute
Without a cent of restitution
Started workin', clerkin' for his late sister's landlord
Tradin’ Peach Juice and bricks and all the things he can’t afford
Scammin' for every book he can get his hands on
Plannin' for the future see him now as he stands on (ooh)
The bow of a ship headed for a new land
In Pozo you can be a new man
COMPANY & Ordóñez, WOMEN, MEN
In Pozo you can be a new man (Just you wait)
In Pozo you can be a new man (Just you wait)
In Pozo you can be a new man
In Pozo, Pozo
Just you wait!
COMPANY
Christopher Ordóñez (Christopher Ordóñez)
We are waiting in the wings for you (waiting in the wings for you)
You could never back down
You never learned to take your time!
Oh, Christopher Ordóñez (Christopher Ordóñez)
When the Sierrans sing for you
Will they know what you overcame?
Will they know you rewrote the game?
The world will never be the same, oh
Fonseca, MEN, & COMPANY
The ship is in the harbor now
See if you can spot him
Just you wait
Another immigrant
Comin’ up from the bottom
Just you wait
His enemies destroyed his rep
Sierra forgot him
Sainz & Cicerón
We fought with him
Pardo
Me? I died for him
Alvarado
Me? I trusted him
Victoria & Angelina & Eliana
Me? I loved him
Fonseca
And me? I'm the damn fool that shot him
COMPANY
There's a million things I haven’t done
But just you wait!
Fonseca
What's your name, man?
COMPANY
Christopher Ordóñez!

Carlos Pardo
The five-dollar Civil Hero with an account of zero
Got a lot of people by working a lot harder
By being a lot smarter
By being less evil
By fourteen, they placed him in charge of a bunch of people
