That Would Be Enough

*I don't own anything besides my changes*

[ELIJAH]

Look around, look around at how lucky we are

To be alive right now

Look around, look around...

[HAMILTON]

How long have you known?

[ELIJAH]

A month or so

[HAMILTON]

Elijah, you should have told me

[ELIJAH]

I wrote to the General a month ago

[HAMILTON]

No

[ELIJAH]

I begged her to send you home

[HAMILTON]

You should have told me

[ELIJAH]

I'm not sorry

[ELIJAH & HAMILTON]

I knew you'd fight

Until you'd change the world

Have to change this world

But you deserve a chance to meet your girl

Look around, look around at how lucky we are

To be alive right now

[HAMILTON]

Will you relish me being your poor wife

Unable to provide for your life?

[ELIJAH]

I relish you being my 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
