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
ELIZA: I knew you'd fight HAMILTON: Until the war was won The war's 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 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
