Epilogue (Finale) Lyrics by Les Misérables: International Cast

Les Misérables: The Complete Symphonic Recording

0

[VALJEAN is sitting alone, with a bare wooden cross for company.]
[VALJEAN]
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
[FANTINE's ghost has appeared.]
Bring me home
Bring me home
[FANTINE]
Monsieur, I bless your name
[VALJEAN]
I am ready, Fantine
[FANTINE]
Monsieur, lay down your burden
[VALJEAN]
At the end of my days
[FANTINE]
You raised my child in love
[VALJEAN]
She's the best of my life
[FANTINE]
And you will be with God
[MARIUS and COSETTE burst into the room. They do not see FANTINE.]
[COSETTE]
Papa, Papa, I do not understand
Are you alright? They said you'd gone away
[VALJEAN]
Cosette, my child, am I forgiven now?
Thank God I've lived to see this day
[MARIUS]
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
[VALJEAN]
Now you are here
Again beside me
Now I can die in peace
For now my life is blessed
[COSETTE]
You will live
Papa, you're going to live
It's too soon
Too soon to say goodbye
[VALJEAN]
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
[The other ghosts, including ÉPONINE, have appeared.]
[FANTINE]
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
[VALJEAN]
Forgive me all my trespasses and take me to Your glory
[FANTINE & ÉPONINE]
Take my hand
I'll lead you to salvation
Take my love
For love is everlasting
[VALJEAN, FANTINE & ÉPONINE]
And remember
The truth that once was spoken
To love another person is to see the face of God
[The spirits of ENJOLRAS, GAVROCHE, and the revolutionaries are heard and appear.]
[ENSEMBLE]
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 ploughshare
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
Ah, ah, ah
Tomorrow comes!
