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

Lyricist:     Composer:

【Jean Valjean】
Now you are here again beside me
Now I can die in peace for now my life is blessed

【Cossette】
You will live. Papa, you're going to live!
It's too soon, too soon to say good-bye

【Jean Valjean】
Yes, Cossette. Frobid 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 a story of those who always loved you
Your mother gave a live for you than gave you to my keeping

【Fantine】
Come with me where chains will never bind you
All your grief at last, at last behind you
Lord in heaven looked down on him in mercy

【Jean Valjean】
Forgive me for all my trespasses and take me to your glory

【Fantine & Young Cossette】
Take my hand and lead me to salvation
Take my love for love is everlasting
And remember the truth that once was spoken

【Fantine, Young Cossette & Jean Valjean】
To love another person is to see the face of God

【The dead ghosts】
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

【The dead ghosts & the chorus】
They will live again in freedom in the garden of the Lord
They will walk behind the ploughshare, they will put away the sword
The chain will be broken and all men will have their reward

【All the performers】
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 here the people sing? Say, do you here 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 here the people sing? Say, do you here the distant drums?
It is the future that they bring when tomorrow comes!
Ohh~! Ohh~! Ohh~! Tomorrow comes!
