That Would Be Enough Song Lyrics

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
