That Would Be Enough |
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 |
But you deserve a chance to meet your son |
Look around, look around at how lucky we are |
To be alive right now. |
The war’s not |
Done. |
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 |
