[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 & HAMILTON] I knew you´d fight 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
