epilogue (finale)
Singer:les miserables cast
i count the hours till i can sleep
i dreamed a dream cosette stood by
it made her weep to know i die
alone at the end of the day
you raised my child in love
she's the best of my life
are you alright? they said you'd gone away
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
he took me from the barricade
and brought me home to you!
for now my life is blessed
i'll obey. i will try. on this page
i write my last confession
of those who always loved you: your mother gave her life for you
and gave you to my keeping
where chains will never bind you
look down on him in mercy
forgive me all my trespasses
and take me to your glory
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
they will live again in freedom
in the garden of the lord
they will walk behind the ploughshare
they will put away the sword
and all men will have their reward
who will 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?
do you hear the distant drums?
it is the future that they bring
who will 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?
do you hear the distant drums?
it is the future that they bring
