That would be enough

Elijah:

Look around

Look around

At how lucky we are to be alive right now

Look around look-

Wait-

Alex?

Alex:

Surprise

Elijah:

How long have you known?

Alex:

A month or so

Elijah:

Alexandria you should have told me

I wrote to the general a month ago

Alex:

I didn't want to worry you so

Elijah:

You should have told me

Alex:

I'm not sorry

Elijah:

I knew you'd fight until you changed the world

Alex:

I haven't changed the world

Elijah:

But you deserve a chance to meet your girl

Look around look around at how lucky we are

To be alive right now

Alex:

Would you relish being with a poor wife

Unable to provide for your life

Elijah:

I relish being with my wife

Look around look around

Look at where you are

Look at where you've 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

Of a fragment of your mind

Look out world

That would be enough

I don't pretend to know

The challenges you're facing

The world you keep erasing and creating in your mind

But I'm not afraid

I know who I married

As 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

Just let me grant you peace of mind

If you could let me inside your heart

Oh, let me be a part of the narrative

Of 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
