Epilogue

Monsieur, I bless your name I am ready Fantine! Monsieur, lay down your burden At the end of my days You’ve 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 all right? Why did you go away Cosette, my child Am I forgiven now? Thank god, 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 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 one who turned from hating The man who only learned to love When you were in his 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 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. We will walk behind the plowshare We 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! Ah! Ah! Ah! Tomorrow comes!
