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
I’m not sorry. 
I knew you’d fight until the war was won

HAMILTON
The war’s not done.

ELIZA
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 man’s 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 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...

 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
