That Would Be Enough - Phillipa Soo&Lin-Manuel Miranda
Look around, look around at how lucky we are
to be alive right now.
Look around, look around…
How long have you known?
A month or so.
Eliza, you should have told me.
I wrote to the General a month ago.
I begged him to send you home.
No.
You should have told me.
I'm not sorry.
I knew you'd fight
until the war was won
The war's not
done.
But you deserve a
chance to meet
your son.
Look around, look around
at how lucky we are
to be alive
right now.
Will you relish being a poor man's wife,
unable to provide for your life?
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.
