Epilogue (Finale)

Alone I wait in the shadows
I count the hours 'til I can sleep
I dreamed a dream Cosette stood by
It made her weep to know I died
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
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 with love
She's the best of my life
And you will be with God
Papa, papa
I do not understand
Are you alright?
They said you'd gone away
Cosette my child, am I forgiven now?
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 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 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 your 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 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 ploughshed
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 drum?
It is the future that we 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 drum?
It is the future that we bring when tomorrow comes
Tomorrow comes
