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:

Im not sorry

ELIZA:

I knew youd fight HAMILTON:

Until the war was won The wars 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.

HAMILTON:

Will you relish being a poor mans 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 youre 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 dont pretend to know

The challenges youre facing

The worlds you keep erasing and creating in your mind

But Im not afraid

I know who I married

So long as you come home at the end of the day

That would be enough

We dont need a legacy

We dont 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
