That Would Be Enough
[ELIZA]Look around, look around at how lucky we areTo be alive right nowLook around, look around…
[HAMILTON]How long have you known?
[ELIZA]A month or so
[HAMILTON]Eliza, you should have told me
[ELIZA]I wrote to the General a month ago
[HAMILTON]No
[ELIZA]I begged him to send you home
[HAMILTON]You should have told me
[ELIZA]I’m not sorry
[ELIZA]I knew you’d fightUntil the war was won
[HAMILTON]The war’s notDone.
[ELIZA]But you deserve a chance to meet your sonLook around, look around at how lucky we areTo be alive right now.
[HAMILTON]Will you relish being a poor man’s wifeUnable to provide for your life?
[ELIZA]I relish being your wifeLook around, look around…
Look at where you areLook at where you startedThe fact that you’re alive is a miracleJust stay alive, that would be enough
And if this childShares a fraction of your smileOr a fragment of your mind, look out world!That would be enough
I don’t pretend to knowThe challenges you’re facingThe worlds you keep erasing and creating in your mind
But I’m not afraidI know who I marriedSo long as you come home at the end of the dayThat would be enough
We don’t need a legacyWe don’t need moneyIf I could grant you peace of mindIf you could let me inside your heart…
Oh, let me be a part of the narrativeIn the story they will write somedayLet this moment be the first chapter:Where you decide to stayAnd I could be enoughAnd we could be enoughThat would be enough
