Alone I wait in the shadows
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
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 in love
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 peac
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 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 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
They will live again in freedom
In the garden of the Lord
They will walk behind
the plough share
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
tomorrow comes
