Finale "Les Miserables" - New York/Original Broadway Cast Version/1987

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 good bye
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 those who've always loved you
Your mother gave her life for you then gave you to my keeping
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
Forgive me all my trespasses and take me to your glory
Take my hand and lead me 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 the 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 plough shed
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
Ahhhhhhhh, ahhhhhhhh, ahhhhhhhh
Tomorrow comes
