Hamilton: An American Musical (Genderbent)

#17 That Would Be Enough

[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]

Elijah, you should have told me

[ELIZA]

I wrote to the General a month ago

[HAMILTON]

No

[ELIZA]

I begged her to send you home

[HAMILTON]

You should have told me

[ELIZA]

I'm not sorry

[ELIZA & HAMILTON]

I knew you'd fight

Until the war was won

(The war's not done)

But I deserve a chance to meet our child

Look around, look around at how lucky we are

To be alive right now

[HAMILTON]

Will you relish having me as a wife?

Unable to provide for your life?

[ELIZA]

I relish since you're 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

So to clear you out on why Elijah says This child rather than That child, it means, he is like touching Alex's womb... Also, Elijah learned that Alex was preggy so he wrote to Georgia. Alex didn't want to tell Elijah cause she knows that Elijah won't let her go to war if that happens.

CLARO??? okay, keep reading.
