Finale

Now you are here

Again beside me

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.

Forgive me all my trespasses

And take me to your glory.

Take my hand

And lead me 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

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 walk behind the plough-share,

They will put away the sword.

The chain will be broken

And all men will have their reward.

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!

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

Tomorrow comes!
