Look around, look around at how lucky we are to be alive right now.
Look around, look around.
[Grace]
Prophet’s gone missing.
[Jerome]
And so is Sage.
[Grace]
Why didn’t the general tell me?
[Jerome]
Everyone’s dead or missing.
[Grace]
No.
[Jerome]
I don’t think we’ll get home…
[Grace]
He shoul’ve told me…
[Jerome]
I’m so sorry.
[Jerome(Grace)]
I knew you’d fight until the war was won (Will the war get done?)
And you deserve a chance to sit in the sun, so…
Look around, look around at how lucky we are to be alive right now.
[Grace]
But so many men are dead or missing.
Why did they stop listening?
[Jerome]
Darling please live your life.
Look around, look around….
Look at where we are.
Look at where we started.
The fact that we’re alive is a miracle.
If you’d stay alive, that would be enough.
[Grace]
And if this war
Should end poorly for us
Or should we die. Look at our world.
This is not enough!
[Jerome]
I won’t pretend to know. The challenges we’re facing.
The people who keep erasing and creating with our lives.
But I’m not afraid. I know who I married.
So long as we come home at the end of the war.
It could be enough.
[Grace]
We need a legacy. We need a money.
A way that we could get some peace of mind.
So we will never pass away.
We could be a part of a narrative.
In a story they might write someday.
Is this moment our first or last chapter?
We will only know one way.
And it could be enough.
Would that be enough?
[Jerome]
That could be enough?
[Grace]
Would that be enough?
