Miranda, Lin-Manuel - That Would Be Enough Lyrics
[Eliza:]
Look around, look around at how lucky we are
To be alive right now
Look around, look around…
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

Miranda, Lin-Manuel That Would Be Enough Comments
Riley if you see this in crying!
This duo always has me weak
The way Phillipia goes from this held low pitch voice into the loud beautiful sounding pitch is honestly astounding.
I’m watching this in the corner crying. Lol, I can’t even right now.
When Lin dresses nicer here than the White House
plot twist; that’s actually Eliza and Alexander Hamilton’s souls singing
this is gold
Pippa made Lin cry and frankly me too. Pip has the voice of an angel and I love it so much
wHo is cUtTiNg oNiOnS
Why is this masterpiece only *now* in my recommendations?
I’m not crying.. you are 😭😭😭
im crrying
Where was this
0:25 Lin smiling then frowning is the cutest/funniest thing
This song gets more perfect ever time I here it
I’m coming back to this years later and I’m so happy that I still love hamilton
Lin has a song in in the heights called enough I'm sorry let me pause for a minute to cry this song is to beautiful
does anyone else just die at 0:11 when she puts her hand on her stomach? because, like, same.
Eliza: I know you’s fight ti’ll the war was won.
Alexander: The wars not done.
Eliza: But you deserve to meet your son.
Alexander: The sons not done.
I dunno if I made this up or I forgot reading the comment but yea.
Sorry if I stole it...
I WISH I WAS THIER
Me at 2:52: *YEETS MYSELF ONTO THE FLOOR!*
Phillipa is a beautiful angel 😇 and a wonderful person
That was amazing! Loved it!
When you realize...
They didn’t just play this at any orphanage...
This is at Eliza’s orphanage in New York City.
And she’s singing about being pregnant with her child and loving Alexander.
And she lost them both in the end, in the same way.
I’m crying, I am legitimately crying.
And I found out that Lin cries real tears, every time he cries during Hamilton performances.
How is he able to do that, yet still continue maintaining his composure and singing, my voice turns into a wobbly mess when I try to singing, while crying.
These two are phenomenal! Great job!
WHY AREN'T THEY MARRIED!!!!!!!!! 😭😭😭
*The ending*
WELL I DIDN'T NEED MY HEART ANYWAY
crying<3
I'm following along reading the lyrics as they sing, picturing Lin singing this to his wife that first time, and I wholesomely cannot contain my tears. The immense love he has for her is intimately encapsulated and transcends so wholeheartedly in this piece, and my goodness, it's just such a beautiful thing to witness.
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
Of course I would
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

And I could be enough
And we could be enough
That would be enough."
The war's not done* not "of course I would"
Phillipa Soo has such an amazing voice 😭😭💜💜💜
Phillipa's voice doesn't need auto-tune
Ahhhh there going to make me die by crying a whole ocean out
Ugghhh cryinnggggg
Holy Crap
this is so full of love and kindness. i don't know how this is even real, but it gets me every single time. lin's almost crying expression on his face, pippa's soothing and angelic voice - i am actually all right 💙
*When you realize they sang this at an orphanage* TTT---TTT
every scene lin has with pippa, i bet he always had that face where he was staring at pippa at wlwdwtys
That was yesterday, three years ago!
That moment in the beginning when Lin looked up like “N O . ”
MY HEART CANNOT TAKE ANYMORE FEELS
This will always make me cry. THE FEELS THESE PEOPLE GIVE YOU ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO IGNORE!
Everyone is crying don’t lie
Holy cats, they're in the room where it happened 💗 the orphanage!! 😢 I'm not crying, you are.
I CANT WITH PIPPA'S VOICE
omg my favorite song
lucky u got to see it
Phillipa Soo and Lin are a wonderful gift to us all ♥️
I love her voice it’s so beautiful
0:37 lin is like, HOW DARE YOU
My heart is pierced...They're singing in the orphanage that Eliza....*cries*
Isn’t weird to watch this when Phillipa isn’t pregnant?
oh my gosh i love that song :'( soooooo beautiful
This is the definition of perfection
Phillips Soo is a damn angel that was born on earth
Why is this whole video a mood and a meme at the same time
I know they're both married to other people, but........
THEY'RE MY OTP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😍😍😍😍😍
This is so cute
**hears an angel**
**screams: PHILLIPA SOOOOOOOO**
Literally, the fact that Lin kissed Phillipa hand at the end was the last straw. It was 3 AM and I was holding back tears from other Hamilton videos, but THIS was the hardest hit. It's too much for my heart
Phillipa Soo has the voice of an angel....I'd die if I saw either of them in public...I can't wait to see Hamilton when it comes to my hometown
I’m sorry but y’all need to read the Description....
I kinda wanna be president so I can get free Hamilton Performing
I love you Pippa you too Lin BUT I LOVE YOU PIPPPAAAAA
I must say, as a Brit, Phillipa Soo is the first American I've ever heard who I'd say is well-spoken. She really knows how to enunciate.
*Enufawut?*
(Enough Of What?)
IM CRYING FKDSFDAUFHJF I KNOW IM 3 YEARS LATE
Awww <3 R.I.P Phillip
*IS IT NORMAL TO SHIP THIS?*
Kat Kit
Well both Lin and Pippa are married..
Oh my god my heart hurts and I'm crying a lot
How can someone dislike this... I just don’t get it!!, ( I’m shook )
IM WEAAAK
Its been three years but Im still so in love with this song, the show and the story 💙💜💙💜
Phillipa has an amazing voice of an angel
When was this?
iM LEGIT TEARING UP FROM PHILLIPAS VOICE AND LINS ACTING SKDJXJ💓😭
YO, I'M FUCKING CRYING!!!!! PHILLIPA HELD LIN'S HAND AND THEN AT THE END LIN KISSED HER HAND!!! BITCH, I'M HAVING A SEIZURE AND BALLING MY EYES OUT!! SEND HELP!!!
kiss dat hand AAAAAH
I love how Eliza's actor takes Miranda Lin's hand then he just looks at it and plays along perfectly.💘😭 He is such a nice person :) he is always nice to everyone. (not just because of that)
2:32 gets to me every. time. Just the way her voice beautifully hits the note and the piano in the back sounds amazing and she grabs Lins hand like so many emotions rush through me coz this song is just everything
**shrieks**
**if lin wasnt married or pippa not married, i’d ship them too bad**
Lin has a beautiful wife and I'm so happy for him and their 2 kids... buT EVERY TIME I SEE THESE TWO I JUST 😩❤
DAMN the women in this show get me. I freaking love them
Sing ya sinimon roll
Still can’t believe he wore jeans lol
Nobody signed me up for this feels trip😭
Phillipa is an angle
If I ever got the chance to play as Eliza in Hamilton, I would take the wonderful chance to make this song more emotional by taking Alexander’s hand and placing it on my stomach when I sing “if this child shares a fraction of your smile”. Because I’m a sadist when it comes to acting.
My diamond pippa
this song gets me everytime! Just perfect.
um
you messed up Lin's name in the description....
2:34 2:48 THE FEELS BEGIN
SHIP SORRY HAD TO SAY IT
awwwww SHE TOOK HIS HAND OMFG I CANT TO CUTE😭😭😭❤❤
so cute oml😄😍
Been a year and still watching this.
Lin looks so proud
Lyric chain!
One week later I’m writing a letter nightly...
WE NEED TO MAKE CLONES OF LIN SO I CAN MARRY ONE
😍😍😭
