Look down, look down
Don't look them in the eye
Look down, look down
You're here until you die
No God above
And hell alone below
Look down, look down
There's 20 years to go
I've done no wrong
Sweet Jesus, hear my prayer!
Look down, look down
Sweet Jesus doesn't care
I know she'll wait
I know that she'll be true
Look down, look down
They've all forgotten you
When I get free
You won't see me Here for dust!
Huh!
Look down, look down
You'll always be a slave
Look down, look down
You're standing in your grave
Retrieve the flag.
Now, Prisoner 24601
Your time is up And your parole's begun
You know what that means?
Yes. It means I'm free
No. Follow to the letter Your itinerary
This badge of shame You'll show it till you die
It warns you're a dangerous man
I stole a loaf of bread
My sister's child was close to death
And we were starving
You will starve again
Unless you learn the meaning of the law
I know the meaning of those 19 years
A slave of the law!
5 years for what you did
The rest because you tried to run
Yes, 24601
My name is Jean Valjean!
And I'm Javert!
Do not forget my name
Do not forget me
Look down, look down
You'll always be a slave
Look down, look down
You're standing in your grave
Freedom at last How strange the taste
Never forget the years, the waste
Nor forgive them for what they've done
They are the guilty Everyone
The day begins And now let's see
What this new world Will do for me
Can I help? A day's work?
Papers.
No work here.
Valjean, as a dangerous man, you will be on parole forever.
Failure to report means immediate arrest.
Be in Pontarlier in 30 days.
Follow him.
Let me see your papers.
Monsieur? Papers.
I'll sleep in the stable. Please, I'm hungry.
Get out.
Hey!
Come in, sir, for you are weary
And the night is cold out here
Though our lives are very humble
What we have We have to share
There is wine here to revive you
There is bread to make you strong
There's a bed to rest till morning
Rest from pain And rest from wrong
Bless the food we eat today.
Bless our dear sister and our honored guest.
Get in there! Put him down!
Stay there!
Monsignor.
We have your silver.
We caught this man red-handed.
He had the nerve to say you gave him this.
That is right
But, my friend, you left so early
Surely something slipped your mind
You forgot I gave these also
Would you leave the best behind?
Messieurs, release him
This man has spoken true
I commend you for your duty
Now God's blessing go with you
But remember this, my brother
See in this some higher plan
You must use this precious silver
To become an honest man
By the witness of the martyrs
By the passion and the blood
God has raised you out of darkness
I have saved your soul for
God
What have I done? Sweet Jesus, what have I done?
Become a thief in the night Become a dog on the run
Have I fallen so far And is the hour so late
That nothing remains but the cry of my hate?
The cries in the dark that nobody hears
Here where I stand at the turning of the years
If there's another way to go
I missed it 20 long years ago
My life was a war that could never be won
They gave me a number and they murdered Valjean
When they chained me and left me for dead
Just for stealing a mouthful of bread
Yet why did I allow this man
To touch my soul and teach me love?
He treated me like any other
He gave me his trust He called me brother
My life he claims for God above
Can such things be?
For I had come to hate the world
This world that always hated me!
Take an eye for an eye!
Turn your heart into stone!
This is all I have lived for!
This is all I have known!
One word from him and I'd be back
Beneath the lash, upon the rack
Instead he offers me my freedom!
I feel my shame inside me like a knife
He told me that I have a soul
How does he know?
What spirit comes to move my life?
Is there another way to go?
I am reaching but I fall
And the night is closing in
As I stare into the void
To the whirlpool of my sin
I'll escape now from that world
From the world of Jean Valjean
Jean Valjean is nothing now!
Another story must begin!
At the end of the day you're another day older
And that's all you can say for the life of the poor
It's a struggle! It's a war!
And there's nothing that anyone's giving
One more day standing about What is it for?
One day less to be living
At the end of the day you're another day colder
And the shirt on your back doesn't keep out the chill
And the righteous hurry past They don't hear the little ones crying
And the plague is coming on fast Ready to kill
One day nearer to dying!
At the end of the day there's another day dawning
And the sun in the morning is waiting to rise
Like the waves crash on the sand
Like a storm that'll break any second
There's a hunger in the land There's a reckoning still to be reckoned
And there's gonna be hell to pay At the end of the day!
At the end of the day you get nothing for nothing
Sitting flat on your bum doesn't buy any bread
There are children back at home
And the children have got to be fed
And you're lucky to be in a job
And in a bed
And we're counting our blessings
Have you seen how the foreman is fuming today
With his terrible breath and his wandering hands?
It's because little Fantine won't give him his way
Take a look at his trousers You'll see where he stands!
And the boss, he never knows that the foreman is always on heat
If Fantine doesn't look out, watch how she goes
She'll be out on the street
At the end of the day it's another day over
With enough in your pocket to last for a week
Pay the landlord, pay the shop Keep on working as long as you're able
Keep on working till you drop Or it's back to the crumbs off the table
Well, you've got to pay your way At the end of the day!
And what have we here, little innocent sister?
Come on, Fantine, let's have all the news
"Dear Fantine, you must send us more money
"Your child needs a doctor There's no time to lose"
Give that letter to me It is none of your business
With a husband at home and a bit on the side
Is there anyone here who can swear before God
She has nothing to fear? She has nothing to hide?
Stop making trouble. I'm not making trouble.
Foreman!
What are you doing?
Come on, stop that! Monsieur Madeleine is here!
What is this fighting all about? Someone tear these two apart!
This is a factory, not a circus
Now, come on, ladies, settle down
I am the mayor of this town
I run a business of repute
Deal with this, Foreman. Be as patient as you can.
Yes, Monsieur Madeleine.
Now, someone say how this began.
At the end of the day she's the one who began it!
There's a kid that she's hiding in some little town
There's a man she has to pay
You can guess how she picks up the extra
You can bet she's earning her keep sleeping around!
And the boss wouldn 't like it
Yes, it's true there's a child And the child is my daughter
And her father abandoned us, leaving us flat
Now she lives with an innkeeper man and his wife
And I pay for the child What's the matter with that?
At the end of the day she'll be nothing but trouble
And there's trouble for all when there's trouble for one
While we're earning our daily bread
She's the one with her hands in the butter
You must send the slut away or we're all going to end in the gutter
And it's us who'll have to pay At the end of the day!
I might have known the bitch could bite
I might have known the cat had claws
I might have guessed your little secret
Ah, yes, the virtuous Fantine who keeps herself so pure and clean
You'd be the cause, I had no doubt of any trouble hereabout
You play a virgin in the light
But need no urging in the night
She's been laughing at you while she's having her men!
She'll be nothing but trouble again and again!
You must sack her today! Sack the girl today!
Right, my girl On your way
Monsieur le Mayor! Monsieur le Mayor!
Monsieur le Mayor!
Please! Please, monsieur!
I have a child! Monsieur!
Please! Please.
Welcome, Inspector.
Monsieur le Mayor.
Please know me as Javert
I'm here at your command
With honor due to each And justice in our hand
No man's beyond our reach
Let all beware
Welcome, sir Come guard our laws
I'm sure we're here In common cause
You've done the city proud
You're praised by those on high
Your success has earned a force
The best that Paris can supply
Your people thrive
The dignity of toil To stay alive
It seems to me we may have met
Your face is not a face I would forget
Monsieur Madeleine! Pardon.
Monsieur le Mayor!
The weight, it's crushing him!
Stay still, stay still.
Hold, hold, hold! Hold that steady.
Hold it steady!
That's it. That's it.
Can this be true? I don't believe what I see
A man your age To be as strong as you are
A memory stirs
You make me think of a man
From years ago
A man who broke his parole
He disappeared
Say what you must Don't leave it there
Forgive me, sir I would not dare
How much for this? It's my daughter's.
I'll give you 4 francs for that.
4? It's worth 10!
No.
I smell women Smell 'em in the air
Think I'll drop my anchor In that harbor over there
5?
Lovely lady I'll love you till I'm broke
7 months at sea and now I'm hungry for a poke!
Even stokers need a little stoke!
Lovely ladies Waiting for a bite!
Waiting for the customers Who only come at night
Lovely ladies Ready for the call
Standing up or lying down Or any way at all
Bargain prices up against the wall!
What pretty hair!
What pretty locks you've got there!
What luck you've got It's worth a centime, my dear!
I'll take the lot!
Don't touch me! Leave me alone!
Let's make a price
I'll give you all of 10 francs
Just think of that
It pays a debt
Just think of that
What can I do? It pays a debt
10 francs may save my poor Cosette
Lovely ladies Waiting in the dark
Ready for a thick one Or a quick one in the park
Long time, short time Any time, my dear!
Costs a little extra If you want to take all year
Quick and cheap is underneath the pier
Go and see them.
Come over here
It's 20 francs for a tooth
Come here, my dear
I'll pay you well for your youth
The pain won't last You'll still be able to bite
Just the back ones.
I do it fast I know my business all right
It's worth a go
You'll pay me first what I am due
You'll get twice if I take two
Give me the dirt Who's that bit over there?
A bit of skirt She's the one sold her hair
She's got a kid Sends her all that she can
I might have known There is always some man
Lovely lady, come along and join us!
Lovely lady!
Come on, dearie, why all the fuss?
You're no grander than the rest of us
Life has dropped you at the bottom of the heap
Join your sisters
Make money in your sleep
That's right, dearie Show him what you've got
That's right, dearie Let him have the lot
Old men, young men Take 'em as they come!
Harbor rats and alley cats and every kind of scum
Poor men, rich men, leaders of the land
See them with their trousers off They're never quite as grand!
All it takes is money in your hand
Lovely ladies Going for a song
Got a lot of callers But they never stay for long
Come on, Captain You can wear your shoes
Don't it make a change to have a girl who can't refuse?
Easy money Lying on a bed
Just as well they never see The hate that's in your head
Don't they know they're making love to one already dead?
There was a time when men were kind
When their voices were soft
And their words inviting
There was a time when love was blind
And the world was a song
And the song was exciting
There was a time
Then it all went wrong
I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high And life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving
Then I was young and unafraid
And dreams were made and used and wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung, no wine untasted
But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hope apart
As they turn your dream to shame
He slept a summer by my side
He filled my days with endless wonder
He took my childhood in his stride
But he was gone when autumn came
And still I dream he'll come to me
That we will live the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms we cannot weather
I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seemed!
Now
Life has killed the dream
I dreamed
Have you anywhere to go? No? You need to get warm.
What do you have for me?
Here's our youngest, sir.
I don't want you
You've got some nerve, you little slut. You've got some gall.
Ow!
By Christ, you'll pay for what you've done
I guarantee I'll make you suffer
I beg you, don't report me, sir
I'll do whatever you may want
Make your excuse to the police
Tell me quickly what's the story
Who saw what and why and where?
Let him give a full description Let him answer to Javert
Javert, would you believe it? I was lost here in the dark
When this prostitute attacked me You can see she left her mark
She will answer for her actions If you make a full report
You may rest assured, monsieur She will answer to the court
There's a child who sorely needs me
Please, monsieur, she's but that high
Holy God, is there no mercy?
If I go to jail she'll die
I have heard such protestations every day for 20 years
Let's have no more explanations
Save your breath, save your tears
Honest work, just reward
That's the way to please the Lord
A moment of your time, Javert I do believe this woman's tale
Monsieur le Mayor!
You've done your duty, let her be
She needs a doctor, not a jail
Monsieur le Mayor!
Can this be?
Where will she end
This child without a friend?
I've seen your face before
Show me some way to help you
How have you come to grief In such a place as this?
Monsieur, don't mock me now, I pray
It's hard enough I've lost my pride
You let your foreman send me away
Yes, you were there And turned aside
I never did no wrong
Is it true what I've done...
My daughter's close to dying
... to an innocent soul?
If there's a God above...
Had I only known then
...he'd let me die instead
In His name my task has just begun
I will take her to the hospital.
Monsieur le Mayor.
Where is your child?
With an innkeeper in Montfermeil.
I will send for her immediately.
I will see it done!
Rest.
From Paris, monsieur.
Monsieur le Mayor, I have a crime to declare!
I have disgraced The uniform that I wear
I've done you wrong Let no forgiveness be shown
I've been as hard On every rogue I have known
I mistook you for a convict I have made a false report
Now I learn they caught the culprit He's about to face the court
And of course he now denies it You'd expect that of a con
But he couldn't run forever No, not even Jean Valjean
You say this man denies it all
And gives no sign of understanding or repentance?
You say this man is going to trial
And that he's sure to be returned to serve his sentence?
He will pay, and so must I
Press charges against me, sir
You have only done your duty
It's a minor sin at most
All of us have made misjudgments
You'll return, sir, to your post
They think that man is me Without a second glance
This stranger they have found This man could be my chance
Why should I save his hide? Why should I right this wrong?
When I have come so far and struggled for so long?
If I speak, I am condemned
If I stay silent, I am damned!
I am the master of hundreds of workers
They all look to me
Can I abandon them? How would they live if I am not free?
If I speak, they are condemned
If I stay silent
I am damned
Who am I?
Can I condemn this man to slavery?
Pretend I do not feel his agony?
This innocent who bears my face
Who goes to judgment in my place
Who am I?
Can I conceal myself forevermore?
Pretend I'm not the man I was before?
And must my name until I die be no more than an alibi?
Must I lie?
How can I ever face my fellow men?
How can I ever face myself again?
My soul belongs to God, I know I made that bargain long ago
He gave me hope when hope was gone
He gave me strength to journey on!
Who am I?
I'm Jean Valjean
Monsieur le Mayor!
And so, Your Honor, you see it's true
This man bears no more guilt than you!
Who am I?
24601!
Monsieur le Mayor, you are not well.
You must come with me.
If you don't believe me, ask Inspector Javert.
You'll find me at the hospital.
Cosette, it's turned so cold
Cosette, it's past your bedtime
You've played the day away
And soon it will be night
Come to me
Cosette, the light is fading
Don't you see
The evening star appearing?
Come to me
And rest against my shoulder
How fast the minutes fly away and every minute colder
Dear Fantine, Cosette will be here soon
Dear Fantine, she will be by your side
Come, Cosette
My child, where did you go?
Be at peace
Be at peace evermore
My Cosette
Shall live in my protection
Take her now
Your child will want for nothing
Good monsieur, you come from God in heaven
Tell Cosette I love her
And I'll see her when I wake
Valjean, at last We see each other plain
"Monsieur le Mayor" You'll wear a different chain
Before you say another word, Javert
Before you chain me up like a slave again
Listen to me! There is something I must do
This woman leaves behind a suffering child
There is none but me who can intercede
In mercy's name, three days are all I need
Then I'll return, I pledge my word
Then I'll return
You must think me mad
I've hunted you across the years
Men like you can never change
A man such as you!
Believe of me what you will
Men like you can never change
There is a duty I'm sworn to do
Men like me can never change
You know nothing of my life
No, 24601!
All I did was steal some bread
My duty is to the law
You know nothing of the world
You have no rights
You would sooner see me dead
Come with me, 24601!
But not before I see this justice done!
Now the wheel has turned around
Jean Valjean means nothing now
Dare you talk to me of crime
I am warning you, Javert
And the price you had to pay
I'm the stronger man by far!
Every man is born in sin
There is power in me yet!
Every man must choose his way
My race is not yet run!
You know nothing of Javert!
I was born inside a jail!
I was born with scum like you!
I am from the gutter, too!
There is a castle on a cloud
I like to go there in my sleep
Aren't any floors for me to sweep
Not in my castle on a cloud
There is a lady all in white
Holds me and sings a lullaby
She's nice to see and she's soft to touch
She says, "Cosette, I love you very much"
I know a place where no one's lost
I know a place where no one cries
Crying at all is not allowed
Not in my castle on a cloud
Now look who's here!
The little madam herself
Pretending once again she's been so awfully good
Better not let me catch you slacking! Better not catch my eye!
10 rotten francs your mother sends me What is that going to buy?
Now take that pail My little mademoiselle
And go and draw some water from the well
We should never have taken you in in the first place
How stupid the things that we do!
Like mother, like daughter, the scum of the street
Mama!
Eponine, come, my dear Eponine, let me see you
You look very well in that little blue hat
Oh.
There's some little girls who know how to behave
And they know what to wear And I'm saying thank heaven for that!
Still there, Cosette? Your tears will do you no good!
I told you, fetch some water from the well in the wood
Please do not send me out alone
Not in the darkness on my own
Now shut your face or I'll forget to be nice!
You heard me ask for something And I never ask twice
Wakey-wakey, we're opening.
I love you. I love you so much.
My band of soaks
My den of dissolutes
My dirty jokes
Ugh!
My always pissed as newts
My sons of whores
No, no, no. Not tonight.
Spend their lives in my inn
Wakey-wakey. Good boy, good boy, good boy.
Homing pigeons homing in
They fly through my doors
And they crawl out on all fours
Daddy, here.
Thank you, darling.
Such a gentleman.
Welcome, monsieur, sit yourself down
And meet the best innkeeper in town
As for the rest All of them crooks
Rooking the guests And cooking the books
Seldom do you see
Honest men like me
A gent of good intent who's content to be
Master of the house Doling out the charm
Ready with a handshake and an open palm
Tells a saucy tale Makes a little stir
Customers appreciate a bon viveur
Glad to do a friend a favor
Doesn't cost me to be nice
But nothing gets you nothing Everything has got a little price
Master of the house Keeper of the zoo
Ready to relieve them of a sou or two
Watering the wine Making up the weight
Picking up their knick-knacks When they can't see straight
Everybody loves a landlord Everybody's bosom friend
I do whatever pleases Jesus! Won't I bleed 'em in the end!
Master of the house! Quick to catch your eye
Never wants a passerby to pass him by!
Servant to the poor Butler to the great
Comforter, philosopher and lifelong mate
Everybody's boon companion
Everybody's chaperone
But lock up your valises Jesus! Won't I skin you to the bone!
Food beyond compare Food beyond belief
Mix it in a mincer And pretend it's beef
Kidney of a horse Liver of a cat
Filling up the sausages with this and that
Residents are more than welcome
Bridal suite is occupied
Reasonable charges Plus some little extras on the side
Oh, Santa!
Charge 'em for the lice Extra for the mice
2 percent for looking in the mirror twice
Hand it over! Here a little slice, there a little cut
3 percent for sleeping with the windows shut
When it comes to fixing prices
There are a lot of tricks I knows
How it all increases All those bits and pieces
Jesus! It's amazing how it grows
Sorry, love. I must get something done about that.
I used to dream that I would meet a prince
But, God almighty
Have you seen what's happened since?
What? What?
"Master of the house" isn't worth my spit!
Comforter, philosopher and lifelong shit!
Cunning little brain
Regular Voltaire
Thinks he's quite a lover but there's not much there
What a cruel trick of nature
Landed me with such a louse
God knows how I've lasted living with this bastard in the house
Master of the house!
Master and a half!
Comforter, philosopher
Don't make me laugh
Servant to the poor Butler to the great
Hypocrite and toady and inebriate!
Everybody bless the landlord!
Everybody bless his spouse!
Everybody raise a glass!
Raise it up the master's arse!
Everybody raise a glass to the master of the house
I love you, too.
Everybody bless the landlord
Hush now Do not be afraid of me
Don't hide Show me where you live
Tell me, my child, what is your name?
I'm called Cosette
Mademoiselle. Can I help you with your bucket?
Whoa!
I found her wandering in the wood
This little child, I found her trembling in the shadows
And I am here to help Cosette
I will settle any debt you may think proper
I will pay what I must pay
To take Cosette away
I love you.
This is a duty I must heed
And there is a promise I have made
For I was blind to one in need
I did not see what stood before me
Now your mother is with God
Her suffering is over
And I speak here with her voice
And I stand here in her place
Come on.
And from this day, and evermore
Let me take your coat, monsieur
Cosette shall live in my protection
You are very welcome here
I will not forget my vow
Take a drink
Take a chair
Cosette shall have a father now
What to do? What to say?
Shall you carry our treasure away?
What a gem! What a pearl!
Beyond rubies is our little girl
How can we talk of debt?
Let's not haggle for darling Colette
Cosette. Cosette
Dear Fantine, gone to rest
Have we done for her child what is best?
I think so.
Shared our bread, shared each bone
Treated her like she's one of our own
Yes, our own.
Like our own, monsieur!
The cost adds up.
Your feelings do you credit, sir
And I will ease the parting blow
Let us not talk of bargains and bones and greed
Now may I say we are agreed?
That would quite fit the bill
If she hadn't so often been ill
Little dear, cost us dear
Medicines are expensive, monsieur
Not that we begrudged a sou
It's no more than we Christians must do
Than we Christians may do
No more words! Here's your price
15 hundred for your sacrifice
Come, Cosette, say goodbye
Let us seek out some friendlier sky
Thank you, both, for Cosette
It won't take you too long to forget
Farewell, Courgette!
It's "Cosette." Cosette.
And, open.
It's for you.
Where I go, you will be
Will you be like a papa to me?
Yes, Cosette This is true
I'll be father and mother to you
Not bad. Not enough!
There's a copper at the door What the devil have you done?
Where's the child Cosette?
She's gone with a gent
Didn't tell us where they went
Didn't leave his home address
You're a bloody fool Look at what we got
Should've struck the iron Struck it while it's hot!
Next time round, I promise I'm gonna get the lot
Okay?
Suddenly you're here
Suddenly it starts
Can two anxious hearts beat as one?
Yesterday I was alone
Today you are beside me
Something still unclear
Something not yet here has begun
Suddenly the world seems a different place
Somehow full of grace Full of light
How was I to know that so much hope
Was held inside me?
What is passed is gone
Now we journey on through the night
How was I to know at last That happiness can come so fast?
Trusting me the way you do
I'm so afraid of failing you
Just a child who cannot know That danger follows where I go
There are shadows everywhere
And memories I cannot share
Nevermore alone
Nevermore apart
You have warmed my heart like the sun
You have brought the gift of life And love so long denied me
Suddenly I see
What I could not see
Something suddenly
Has begun
Halt! Let's see your papers.
Where are you traveling?
Cosette. Cosette.
Give me the doll.
Come.
Valjean!
Come, Cosette. Come quickly!
Come on.
24601!
Cosette. I've got you. Come, come.
Valjean!
Who's there?
Please, monsieur.
I need your help.
Please, please.
Monsieur le Mayor?
Who are you?
Fauchelevent.
I fell under my cart.
You saved my life, monsieur.
Fauchelevent.
We need a place of sanctuary, this child and I.
We need to disappear.
We'll give thanks for what is granted
What the sisters may ordain
Come.
Here we pray for new beginnings
Here our lives can start again
There, out in the darkness
A fugitive running
Fallen from God
Fallen from grace
God be my witness
I never shall yield
Till we come face to face
He knows his way in the dark
Mine is the way of the Lord
Those who follow the path of the righteous
Shall have their reward
And if they fall as Lucifer fell
The flames! The sword!
Stars in your multitudes
Scarce to be counted
Filling the darkness
With order and light
You are the sentinels
Silent and sure
Keeping watch in the night
You know your place in the sky
You hold your course and your aim
And each in your season returns and returns
And is always the same
And if you fall as Lucifer fell
You fall in flames!
And so it must be, for so it is written
On the doorway to paradise
That those who falter and those who fall
Must pay the price
Lord, let me find him
That I may see him
Safe behind bars!
I will never rest till then!
This I swear
This I swear by the stars!
Come on, boys!
Come on.
Look down and see the beggars at your feet!
Look down and show some mercy if you can
Look down and see the sweepings of the street!
Look down, look down upon your fellow man!
How do you do? My name's Gavroche
These are my people, here's my patch
Not much to look at, nothing posh
Nothing that you'd call up to scratch
This is my school, my high society
Here in the slums of Saint Michel
We live on crumbs of humble piety
Tough on the teeth, but what the hell
Think you're poor? Think you're free?
Follow me! Follow me!
Look down and show some mercy if you can!
Look down, look down upon your fellow man
Wait, Gavroche!
There was a time we killed the king
We tried to change the world too fast
Now we have got another king
He is no better than the last
This is the land that fought for liberty
Now when we fight, we fight for bread!
Here is the thing about equality
Everyone's equal when they're dead
Take your place! Take your chance!
Vive la France! Vive la France!
Look down and show some mercy if you can!
Look down, look down upon your fellow man
When's this gonna end?
When we gonna live?
Something's gotta happen now
Something's gotta give
It'll come, it'll come, it'll come It'll come, it'll come
Where are the leaders of the land?
Where is the king who runs this show?
Only one man, General Lamarque
Speaks for the people here below!
Lamarque is ill and fading fast
Won't last a week out, so they say
With all the anger in the land
How long before the Judgment Day?
Before we cut the fat ones down to size?
Death to the king!
Liberty for France!
Before the barricades arise?
Death to the king!
Tell your friends. We come tomorrow.
We meet here at General Lamarque's house. Bring your friends.
Vive General Lamarque!
Marius! Grandfather!
Have you any idea of the shame you bring on our family?
An utter disgrace.
Marius.
Vive General Lamarque! Vive General Lamarque!
Vive la France! Vive la France!
Hey there, monsieur, what's new with you?
Plotting to overthrow the state?
You still pretending to be poor
Come on, I know your grandpa's rich
Won't take a franc that I've not earned
All of those bridges have been burned
I like the way you talk, monsieur!
I like the way you always tease
Little he knows
Little he sees
Here, take this.
Eponine!
Everyone here, you know your place
Brujon, Babet, Claquesous
You, Montparnasse, watch for the law
With Eponine, take care
You turn on the tears No mistakes, my dears
Please, monsieur, come this way
Here's a child that ain't eaten today
Save a life, spare a sou
God rewards all the good that you do
Wait a bit! Know that face!
Ain't the world a remarkable place!
Men like me don't forget
You're the bastard that borrowed Colette!
Cosette. Whatever.
What is this? Are you mad?
No, monsieur, you don't know what you say!
You know me! I know you!
And you'll pay what we're due
And you'd better dig deep
'Cause she doesn't come cheap
Brujon.
It's the police! Disappear!
Run for it! It's Javert!
- Cosette! - Papa.
Another brawl in the square Another stink in the air
Was there a witness to this? Well, let him speak to Javert!
Monsieur, these streets are not safe But let these vermin beware
We'll see that justice is done
Look upon this fine collection
Crawled from underneath a stone
This swarm of worms and maggots
Could have picked you to the bone
I know this man over here I know his name and his trade
And on your witness, monsieur, I'll see him suitably paid
But where's the gentleman gone?
And why on Earth would he run?
You will have a job to find him
He's not all he seems to be
And that girl he trails behind him
Is the child he stole from me
Yeah, and me.
Yeah, both of us.
Could it be he's that old jailbird That the tide now washes in?
Heard my name and started running All the omens point to him
In the absence of a victim
Dear Inspector, may I go?
And remember
When you've nicked him
It was me what told you so
Let the old man keep on running
I will run him off his feet!
Everyone, about your business Clear this garbage off the street
Cosette! Now I remember
Cosette! How can it be?
We were children together
Look what's become of me
Eponine! Who was that girl?
That bourgeois two-a-penny thing
Eponine, find her for me!
What will you give me?
Anything!
Got you all excited now But God knows what you see in her
Aren't you all delighted now?
No, I don't want your money, sir
Eponine, do this for me
Discover where she lives
But careful how you go Don't let your father know
Eponine! I'm lost until she's found
You see? I told you so
There's lots of things I know
'Ponine
She knows her way around
The time is near
So near it's stirring the blood in their veins
And yet beware!
Don't let the wine go to your brains
We need a sign to rally the people
To call them to arms
And to bring them in line!
Marius, wake up! What's wrong today?
You look as if you've seen a ghost
Some wine, and say what's going on
A ghost, you say? A ghost maybe
She was just like a ghost to me
One minute there, then she was gone
I am agog! I am aghast!
Is Marius in love at last?
I've never heard him "Ooh" and "Aah"
You talk of battles to be won
And here he comes like Don Juan
It is better than an opera!
It is time for us all to decide who we are
Do we fight for the right to a night at the opera now?
Have you asked of yourself What's the price you might pay?
Is this simply a game for a rich young boy to play?
The colors of the world are changing day by day
Red, the blood of angry men!
Black, the dark of ages past!
Red, a world about to dawn!
Black, the night that ends at last!
Had you seen her today you might know how it feels
To be struck to the bone in a moment of breathless delight!
Had you been there today you might also have known
How your world may be changed in just one burst of light
And what was right seems wrong
And what was wrong seems right
Red!
I feel my soul on fire!
Black!
My world if she's not there!
Red!
The color of desire!
Black!
The color of despair!
Marius, you're no longer a child
I do not doubt you mean it well
But now there is a higher call
I know.
Who cares about your lonely soul?
We strive towards a larger goal
Our little lives don't count at all!
Red!
The blood of angry men!
Black!
The dark of ages past!
Red!
A world about to dawn!
Black!
The night that ends at last!
Listen, everybody!
General Lamarque is dead.
Lamarque, his death is the hour of fate
The people's man
His death is the sign we await!
On his funeral day they will honor his name
With the light of rebellion ablaze in their eyes
From their candles of grief we will kindle our flame
On the tomb of Lamarque shall our barricade rise!
The time is here!
Let us welcome it gladly with courage and cheer!
Let us take to the streets with no doubt in our hearts
But a jubilant shout!
They will come one and all!
They will come when we call!
Did you find her?
How strange
This feeling that my life's begun at last
This change
Can people really fall in love so fast?
What's the matter with you, Cosette?
Have you been too much on your own?
So many things unclear
So many things unknown
In my life
There are so many questions and answers
That somehow seem wrong
In my life
There are times when I catch in the silence
The sigh of a faraway song
And it sings
Of a world that I long to see Out of reach
Just a whisper away Waiting for me
Does he know I'm alive? Do I know if he's real?
Does he see what I see? Does he feel what I feel?
In my life
I'm no longer alone
Now the love in my life is so near
Find me now
Find me here
Dear Cosette
You're such a lonely child
How pensive, how sad you seem to me
Believe me, were it within my power
I'd fill each passing hour
How quiet it must be, I can see
With only me for company
There's so little I know that I'm longing to know
Of the man that you were in a time long ago
Please, Cosette.
There's so little you say of the life you have known
Why you keep to yourself Why you're always alone
So dark So dark and deep
The secrets that you keep
In my life
Please forgive what I say You are loving and gentle and good
But Papa, dear Papa
In your eyes I am still like that child who was lost in a wood
No more words
It's a time that is dead
There are words
That are better unheard Better unsaid
In my life
I'm no longer a child and I yearn for the truth that you know
Of the years, years ago
You will learn
Truth is given by God to us all in our time
In our turn
In my life
She has burst like the music of angels The light of the sun
And my life seems to stop as if something is over
And something has scarcely begun!
Eponine, you're the friend who has brought me here
Thanks to you I'm at one with the gods
And heaven is near!
And I soar through a world that is new That is free
Every word that he says is a dagger in me
In my life
There's been no one like him anywhere
Anywhere, where he is
If he asked, I'd be his
In my life
There is someone who touches my life
Waiting near
Waiting here
A heart full of love
A heart full of song
I'm doing everything all wrong
Oh God, for shame I do not even know your name
Dear mademoiselle
Won't you say?
Will you tell?
A heart full of love
No fear, no regret
My name is Marius Pontmercy
And mine's Cosette
Cosette, I don't know what to say
Then make no sound
I am lost
I am found
A heart full of love
He was never mine to lose
A heart full of you
A single look and then I knew
Why regret what could not be?
I knew it, too
These are words he'll never say
Not to me
From today
Not to me Not for me
Every day
His heart full of love
For it isn't a dream
He will never feel this way
Not a dream after all
Cosette?
Cosette, what are you doing?
I told you to stay inside.
Who is this hussy?
It's your brat Eponine! Don't you know your own kid?
Why's she hanging about here?
Eponine, get on home You're not needed in this
We're enough here without you
I know this house, I tell you
There's nothing here for you
Just the old man and the girl
They live ordinary lives
Don't interfere You've got some gall
Take care, young miss You've got a lot to say
I'm gonna scream! I'm gonna warn them here!
One little scream and you'll regret it for a year!
My God, Cosette!
You wait, my girl! You'll rue this night!
I'll make you scream!
You'll scream all right!
Police!
Must be Javert
He's found my cover at last
I've got to get Cosette away
We'll go to our apartment at Rue de l'Homme Arme, it's safer there.
Then I'll arrange our passage to England. No.
Hurry, Cosette! Prepare to leave Say no more
Tonight we'll away
Please, Papa, we can't! Hurry, Cosette!
It's time to close another door and live another day!
Get dressed, we're leaving. Now!
Please, no!
On my own
Pretending he's beside me
All alone
I walk with him till morning
Without him
I feel his arms around me
And when I lose my way I close my eyes
And he has found me
In the rain
The pavement shines like silver
All the lights
Are misty in the river
In the darkness the trees are full of starlight
And all I see is him and me forever and forever
And I know
It's only in my mind
That I'm talking to myself
And not to him
And although I know that he is blind
Still I say
There's a way for us
I love him
But when the night is over
He is gone, the river's just a river
Without him the world around me changes
The trees are bare and everywhere
the streets are full of strangers
I love him
But every day I'm learning
All my life I've only been pretending
Without me, his world will go on turning
A world that's full of happiness
That I have never known
I love him
But only on my own
One day more
Another day, another destiny
This never-ending road to Calvary
These men who seem to know my crime will surely come a second time
One day more
I did not live until today
How can I live when we are parted?
One day more
Tomorrow you'll be worlds away
And yet with you my world has started
One more day all on my own
Will we ever meet again?
One more day with him not caring
I was born to be with you
What a life I might have known
And I swear I will be true
But he never saw me there
One more day before the storm
Do I follow where she goes?
At the barricades of freedom!
Shall I join my brothers there?
When our ranks begin to form
Do I stay and do I dare?
Will you take your place with me?
The time is now!
The day is here!
One day more!
One day more to revolution We will nip it in the bud
We'll be ready for these schoolboys
They will wet themselves with blood!
One day more!
Watch 'em run amuck
Catch 'em as they fall
Never know your luck when there's a free-for-all
Here's a little dip
There a little touch
Most of them are goners So they won't miss much!
One day to a new beginning
Raise the flag of freedom high!
Every man will be a king!
There's a new world for the winning!
There's a new world to be won
Do you hear the people sing?
My place is here!
I fight with you!
One day more!
We will join these people's heroes
We will follow where they go
One more day all on my own
We will learn their little secrets
We will know the things they know
One day more!
Tomorrow you'll be worlds away
One more day to revolution
What a life I might have known
We will nip it in the bud
And yet with you my world has started
We'll be ready for these schoolboys
Tomorrow will be far away
Tomorrow is the judgment day
Tomorrow we'll discover
What our God in heaven has in store
One more dawn!
One more day!
One day more!
Do you hear the people sing
Singing the song of angry men?
It is the music of a people who will not be slaves again
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start when tomorrow comes!
Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Beyond the barricade Is there a world you long to see?
Then join in the fight
That will give you the right to be free!
Do you hear the people sing
Singing the song of angry men?
It is the music of a people who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start when tomorrow comes!
Will you give all you can give
So that our banner may advance?
Some will fall and some will live
Will you stand up and take your chance?
The blood of the martyrs will water the meadows of France!
Do you hear the people sing
Singing the song of angry men?
It is the music of a people who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start when tomorrow comes!
Halt!
Draw!
She's an innocent woman!
Murderer!
Come here, you!
Charge!
Push them to the right.
Thank you, sir. Thank you, monsieur.
To the barricades!
Vive la France!
Get to the barricade!
Come on!
Get down! Get down!
Go, go, go!
Get off your arse! It's begun!
The barricade!
Sorry, madame. Thank you. What are you doing?
We need as much furniture as you can throw down!
Throw everything you have!
Below!
Watch yourself, watch yourself.
Go on, boys!
No!
Thank you, madame.
I need a volunteer!
Someone who can find out their plan and when they will attack.
I can find out the truth
I know their ways
Fought their wars Served my time
In the days Of my youth
See? The people unite!
I pray you're right
Dogs will bark
Fleas will bite!
They will do what is right
Red, the blood of angry men!
Black, the dark of ages past!
Red, a world about to dawn!
Black, the night that ends at last!
He's back!
Listen, my friends I have done as I said
I have been to their lines I have counted each man
I will tell what I can
Better beware They have armies to spare
And our danger is real
We will need all our cunning to bring them to heel
Have faith!
If you know what their movements are we'll spoil their game
There are ways that a people can fight
We shall overcome their power!
I have overheard their plans
There will be no attack tonight
They intend to starve you out
Before they start a proper fight
Concentrate their force
Hit us when it's light
Liar!
Good evening, dear Inspector Lovely evening, my dear!
I know this man, my friends His name's Inspector Javert!
So don't believe a word he says because none of it's true
This only goes to show what little people can do
Bravo, little Gavroche You're the top of the class
So what are we going to do with this snake in the grass?
Take this man and throw him in the tavern in there
The people will decide your fate, Inspector Javert
Shoot me now or shoot me later
Every schoolboy to his sport!
Death to each and every traitor!
I renounce your people's court!
We keep looking forward!
To your positions.
Move!
Now, hold your fire. Hold your fire.
Front rank, kneel!
Save your gunpowder.
Take aim!
Get down.
Who's there?
French Revolution!
Fire!
They're coming!
They're coming over the barricades!
Get back!
Marius! No!
Marius! What are you doing?
Get down!
Marius, watch out!
Get down!
No!
Fall back!
Fall back, or I blow the barricade!
Blow it up and take yourself with it!
Christ!
And myself with it.
Back! Back!
Man the barricade!
What were you thinking, Marius?
You could have gotten us all killed!
Marius, you saved us all.
My life is not yours to risk!
Eponine. What are you doing?
I kept it from you.
It's from Cosette.
The rain's going to ruin the powder.
I'm sorry.
What have you done?
'Ponine.
Don't you fret, Monsieur Marius
I don't feel any pain
A little fall of rain
Can hardly hurt me now
You're here
That's all I need to know
And you will keep me safe
And you will keep me close
And rain will make the flowers grow
But you will live, 'Ponine Dear God above!
If I could close your wounds with words of love
Just hold me now, and let it be
Shelter me, comfort me
Hush-a-bye, dear Eponine
So don't you fret, Monsieur Marius
You won't feel any pain I don't feel any pain
A little fall of rain A little fall of rain
Can hardly hurt you now Can hardly hurt me now
I'm here
That's all I need to know
And I will stay with you And you will keep me safe
Till you are sleeping And you will keep me close
And rain
Will make the flowers
Grow
Gavroche, will you do something for me?
Anything. Without you, I'd have bitten the dust.
Letter from the barricade.
From the barricade?
I'll take it.
Something for me, something for you. Who needs charity?
Boy.
You stay away from there, you understand?
"Dearest Cosette, you have entered my soul
"And soon you will be gone
"Can it be only a day since we met and the world was reborn?
"If I should fall in the battle to come let this be my goodbye
"Now that I know that you love...
"You love me as well It is harder to die
"I pray that God will bring me home to be with you
"Pray for your Marius
"He prays for you"
Oh, God.
This is the day that most I feared
Now a young man has appeared to change my life
This Marius will take away the treasure of my autumn days to be his wife
But he could die tonight
I must find this boy
Don't shoot! Don't shoot!
I come here as a volunteer.
You see...
You see that prisoner over there?
A volunteer like you!
A spy who calls himself Javert!
He's going to get it, too!
Get in there. Get inside.
Don't kill him. I know him.
Enemy marksman!
On the roof! On the roof!
Where are they? Where are they?
We'll take the left.
We'll take the right.
Eyes forward!
Eyes to the roofs, eyes to the roofs.
Thank you, monsieur.
Give me no thanks, monsieur There's something you can do
If it is in my power
Give me the spy Javert! Let me take care of him
Do what you have to do The man belongs to you
No. Enjolras.
We meet again
You've hungered for this all your life
Take your revenge
How right you should kill with a knife
Get out of here
Don't understand
Clear out of here
Once a thief, forever a thief
What you want, you always steal
You would trade your life for mine
Yes, Valjean, you want a deal
Shoot me now for all I care!
If you let me go, beware! You'll still answer to Javert!
You are wrong and always have been wrong
I'm a man no worse than any man
And you are free and there are no conditions
No bargains or petitions
There's nothing that I blame you for
You've done your duty, nothing more
If I come out of this alive...
You will find me at Rue de l'Homme Arme, number 5
No doubt our paths will cross again.
Courfeyrac, you take the watch
They may attack before it's light
Everybody, keep the faith
For certain as our banner flies We are not alone
The people too must rise
Marius.
Rest.
Drink with me
To days gone by!
To the life that used to be
At the shrine of friendship never say die
Let the wine of friendship never run dry
Here's to you and here's to me!
Do I care if I should die now she goes across the sea?
Life without Cosette means nothing at all
Would you weep, Cosette, if I were to fall?
Would you weep, Cosette
For me?
God on high
Hear my prayer
In my need
You have always been there
He is young
He's afraid
Let him rest
Heaven blessed
Bring him home
He's like the son I might have known
If God had granted me a son
The summers die One by one
How soon they fly On and on
And I am old
And will be gone
Bring him peace
Bring him joy
He is young
He is only a boy
You can take
You can give
Let him be
Let him live
If I die
Let me die
Let him live
Bring him home
Bring him
Home!
Enjolras, the rain has damaged the gunpowder.
We're low on ammunition.
We're the only barricade left.
What?
We're the only ones left.
The people have not stirred
We are abandoned by those who still live in fear
Let us not waste lives
Let all who wish to
Go from here
Do you hear the people sing
Singing the song of angry men?
It is the music of a people who will not be slaves again
When the beating of your heart echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start when tomorrow comes!
Enjolras, we need more ammunition.
I'm going into the colonnade. There are dead bodies there, dry ammunition.
The gunpowder is wet through.
Let's round it up. Let's get everything out here.
Little people know when little people fight
We may look easy pickings
Gavroche.
But we've got some bite!
Come here.
So never kick a dog because he's just a pup
Gavroche!
We'll fight like 20 armies and we won't give up
Gavroche! Gavroche, what are you doing?
Someone pull him back!
You dirty bastard!
So you'd better run for cover
When the pup...
Grows...
You at the barricades, listen to this!
The people of Paris sleep in their beds!
You have no chance
No chance at all
Why throw your lives away?
Let us die facing our foes
Make them bleed while we can
Make them pay through the nose
Make them pay for every man
Let others rise to take our place
Until the Earth is free!
Cannons!
Quick as you can! Come on!
Look lively!
Far right first.
Wait for it!
Fire!
Marius.
They're bringing in replacements.
Second cannon!
Fire!
Take aim!
Fire!
Take cover, boy!
There's more men! There's more men, Enjolras!
Cannons ready!
Fire!
Cannons ready!
And fire!
Advance!
Watch out!
Please!
Open the door!
Please!
We need the door! We need to barricade the door!
Marius! Marius!
Take positions!
Steady, lads!
- Go! - They're coming!
Thank you!
Long live the revolution!
Here's a pretty ring.
Oh.
Hello.
You're alive! I saved you!
You!
How do I get out of here? It's that way!
All the way down and to the left!
It's you, Javert I knew you wouldn't wait too long
The faithful servant at his post once more
This man's done no wrong He needs a doctor's care
I warned you I would not give in! I won't be swayed!
Another hour yet Then I'm yours
All our debts are paid
The man of mercy comes again And talks of justice!
Come, time is running short!
Look down, Javert
He's standing in his grave!
One more step and you die.
Who is this man? What sort of devil is he?
To have me caught in a trap and choose to let me go free?
It was his hour at last to put a seal on my fate
Wipe out the past and wash me clean off the slate
All it would take was a flick of his knife
Vengeance was his and he gave me back my life!
Damned if I live in the debt of a thief!
Damned if I yield at the end of the chase!
I am the law and the law is not mocked!
I'll spit his pity right back in his face!
There is nothing on Earth that we share!
It is either Valjean or Javert!
And my thoughts fly apart
Can this man be believed?
Shall his sins be forgiven?
Shall his crimes be reprieved?
And must I now begin to doubt
Who never doubted all these years?
My heart is stone and still it trembles
The world I have known is lost in shadow
Is he from heaven or from hell?
And does he know
That granting me my life today
This man has killed me even so?
I am reaching but I fall
And the stars are black and cold
As I stare into the void of a world that cannot hold
I'll escape now from that world
From the world of Jean Valjean
There is nowhere I can turn
There is no way to go on
Did you see them going off to fight?
Children of the barricade who didn't last the night
Did you see them lying where they died?
Someone used to cradle them and kiss them when they cried
Did you see them lying side by side?
There's a grief that can't be spoken
There's a pain goes on and on
Empty chairs at empty tables
Now my friends are dead and gone
Here they talked of revolution
Here it was they lit the flame
Here they sang about tomorrow
And tomorrow never came
From the table in the corner
They could see a world reborn
And they rose with voices ringing
And I can hear them now
The very words that they have sung
Became their last communion
On this lonely barricade
At dawn
Oh, my friends, my friends, forgive me
That I live and you are gone
There's a grief that can't be spoken
There's a pain goes on and on
Phantom faces at the windows
Phantom shadows on the floor
Empty chairs at empty tables
Where my friends will meet no more
Oh, my friends, my friends
Don't ask me
What your sacrifice was for
Empty chairs at empty tables
Where my friends will sing
No more
Every day you walk with stronger step
You walk with longer step The worst is over
Don't think about it, Marius!
With all the years ahead of us!
I will never go away
And we will be together every day
Every day
We'll remember that night
And the vow that we made
A heart full of love
She was never mine to keep
A night full of you
She is youthful, she is free
The words are old but always true
Cosette, Cosette!
Love is the garden of the young
I saw you waiting and I knew
Thank God you are here
Waiting for you
Let it be
At your feet
Thank God you are home
Let it be
A heart full of love
And it wasn't a dream
This I give you this day
Not a dream after all
Monsieur, this is a day I never can forget
Is gratitude enough for giving me Cosette?
Your home shall be with us And not a day shall pass
But we will prove our love To you, whom we shall call
A father to us both A father to us all
Not another word, my son
There's something now that must be done
There lived a man whose name was Jean Valjean
He stole some bread to save his sister's son
For 19 winters he served his time
In sweat he washed away his crime
Years ago
He broke parole and lived a life apart
How could he tell Cosette and break her heart?
Marius...
It's for Cosette this must be faced
If he is caught, she is disgraced
The time has come to journey on
And from this day he must be gone
Who am I?
You're Jean Valjean
Monsieur, you cannot leave
Whatever I tell my beloved Cosette She will never believe
Tell her I've gone on a journey A long way away
Tell her my heart was too full for farewells
It is better this way
Promise me, monsieur Cosette will never know
What I have spoken Why I must go
For the sake of Cosette
It must be so
Thank you, Marius.
Where's he gone without a word?
That wouldn't be his way to go
Why so sudden, why so strange?
Oh, did he say how long he'll be gone?
All he asked for me to say is he's on a journey far away
He can't leave us now
How he breaks my heart
And we will never be apart
I promise you.
The Baron and Baroness du Thenard.
Go away, Thenardier!
Do you think I don't know who you are?
He's not fooled Told you so
Show monsieur what you've come here to show
Tell the boy what you know
Pity to disturb you at a feast like this
But 500 francs surely wouldn't come amiss
In God's name, say what you have to say
He speaks You pay!
What I saw, clear as light
Jean Valjean in the sewers one night
Had this corpse on his back
Some boy he had killed in a vicious attack
I was there, never fear
I even found me this fine souvenir
I know this This is mine
This is surely some heavenly sign
Then it's true Then I'm right
Jean Valjean was my savior that night
Jean Valjean, the old con
You pay up or I'll say where he's gone
Where is he?
The convent!
Cosette, come with me. Come with me.
Watch the buggers dance Watch 'em till they drop!
Keep your wits about you and you'll stand on top!
Masters of the land Always get our share
Clear away the barricades and we're still there
We know where the wind is blowing
Money is the stuff we smell
And when we're rich as Croesus
Jesus! Won't we see you all in hell!
How dare you!
Alone I wait in the shadows
I count the hours until I sleep
I dreamed a dream Cosette stood by
It made her weep to know I die
Alone at the end of the day
Upon this wedding night I pray
Take these children, my Lord, to Thy embrace
And show them grace
God on high
Hear my prayer
Take me now
To Thy care
Where You are
Let me be
Take me now
Take me there
Bring me home
Monsieur, I bless your name
I am ready, Fantine
Monsieur, lay down your burden
At the end of my days
You raised my child in love
She's the best of my life
And you will be with God
Oh!
Oh...
Fantine.
Papa, Papa, I do not understand
Are you all right? Why did you go away?
Cosette, my child! Am I forgiven now?
Thank God, thank God I've lived to see this day!
It's you who must forgive a thoughtless fool
It's you who must forgive a thankless man
It's thanks to you that I am living
And again I lay down my life at your feet
Cosette, your father is a saint
When they wounded me He took me from the barricade
Carried like a babe
And brought me home to you
Now you are here
Again beside me
Now I can die in peace
For now my life is blessed
You will live, Papa You're going to live
It's too soon Too soon to say goodbye
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 the story
Of one who turned from hating
A man who only learned to love
When you were in his keeping
I know it, Papa.
Come with me
Where chains will never bind you
I am ready, Fantine.
All your grief At last, at last behind you
Lord in heaven
Look down on him in mercy
Forgive me all my trespasses
And take me to Your glory
Take my hand
I'll lead you to salvation
Take my love
For love is everlasting
And remember
The truth that once was spoken
To love another person
Is to see the face of God
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
We will live again in freedom
In the garden of the Lord
We will walk behind the plowshare We 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 we bring when tomorrow comes!
