lin-manuel miranda’s “that would be enough” - j. mummert lyrics
[eliza]
look around, look around at how lucky we are
to be alive right now
look 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 fight
until the war was won
but you deserve a chance to meet your son
look around, look around at how lucky we are
to be alive right now.
[hamilton]
the war’s not
done.
[hamilton]
will you relish being a poor man’s wife
unable to provide for your life?
[eliza]
i relish being your wife
look around, look around…
look at where you are
look at where you started
the fact that you’re alive is a miracle
just stay alive, that would be enough
and if this child
shares a fraction of your smile
or a fragment of your mind, look out world!
that would be enough
i don’t pretend to know
the challenges you’re facing
the worlds you keep erasing and creating in your mind
but i’m not afraid
i know who i married
so long as you come home at the end of the day
that would be enough
we don’t need a legacy
we don’t need money
if i could grant you peace of mind
if you could let me inside your heart…
oh, let me be a part of the narrative
in the story they will write someday
let this moment be the first chapter:
where you decide to stay
and i could be enough
and we could be enough
that would be enough
