Les Miserables Cast – Epilogue Soundtrack Lyrics [ from "Les Misérables" Movie (2012) ]
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
Bring me home, bring me home
FANTINE
Monsieur, I bless your name
VALJEAN
I am ready, Fantine
[ Soundtrack from http://www.songonlyrics.com/soundtracks/les-miserables-cast-epilogue-lyrics.html ]
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
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
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 & EPONINE
Take my hand, I'll lead you to salvation
Take my love, for love is everlasting
VALJEAN, FANTINE & EPONINE
And remember the truth that once was spoken
To love another person is to see the face of God
CHORUS
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
