That Would Be Enough Songtext
von Lin‐Manuel Miranda

Look around, look around at how lucky we are
To be alive right now
Look around, look around

How long have you known?
A month or so
Eliza, you should have told me
I wrote to the General a month ago, no
I begged him to send you home
You should have told me

I′m not sorry
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

Will you relish being a poor man's wife
Unable to provide for your life?
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
