FINALE

valjean
now you are here
again beside me
now i can die in peace
for my life is blessed

cosette
but you will live, papa, you're going to live
it's too soon to ever say goodbye

valjean
yes, cosette, forbid me now to die
i'll obey, i will try

on this page
i write my last confession
read it well
when i, at last, am sleeping
it's a story
of those who always loved you
your mother gave her life for you
then gave you to my keeping

fantine
come with me
where chains will never bind you
all your grief
at last, at last, behind you
lord in heaven
look down on him in mercy

valjean
forgive me all my trespasses
and take me to your glory

valjean, fantine, eponine
take my hand
and lead me to salvation
take my love
for love is everlasting
and remember
the trust that once was spoken
to love another person
is to see the face of god

chorus:
do you hear the people sing
lost in the valley of the night
it is the music of a people
who are climbing to the light
for the wretched of the earth
there is a flame that never dies
even the darkest night will end
and the sun will rise

they will live again in freedom
in the garden of the lord
they will walk behind the ploughshare
they will put away the sword
the chain will be broken
and all men will have their reward

will you join in our crusade
who will be strong and stand with me?
somewhere beyond the barricade
is there a world you long to see?
do you hear the people sing?
say, do you hear the distant drums?
it is the future that they bring
when tomorrow comes

will you join in our crusade
who will be strong and stand with me?
somewhere beyond the barricade
is there a world you long to see?
do you hear the people sing?
say, do you hear the distant drums?
it is the future that they bring
when tomorrow comes....
when tomorrow comes
