FANTINE:
I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high
And life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving
And still I dream he'd come to me
And we would live the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms we cannot weather
I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seemed
Now life has k**ed the dream I dreamed JEAN VALJEAN:
Who am I?
Can I condemn this man to slavery
Pretend I do not feel his agony
This innocent who wears my face
Who goes to judgement in my place
Who am I?
Can I conceal myself for evermore?
Pretend I'm not the man I was before?
And must my name until I die
Be no more than an alibi?
Must I lie?
How can I ever face my fellow men?
How can I ever face myself again?
I gave my soul to God, I know
I made that bargain long ago
He gave me hope when hope was gone
He gave me strength to journey on
Who am I?
24601! THENARDIER:
Welcome, Monsieur, sit yourself down
And meet the best innkeeper in town
As for the rest, all of 'em crooks
Rooking their guests and crooking the books
Seldom do you see
Honest men like me
A gent with good intent
Who's content to be
Master of the house, quick to catch yer eye
Never wants a pa**erby to pa** him by
Servant to the poor, butler to the great
Comforter, philosopher, and lifelong mate!
Everybody's boon companion
Everybody's chaperone
Everybody raise a gla**
Raise it up the master's arse
Everybody raise a gla** to the Master of the House! JAVERT:
There, out in the darkness
A fugitive running
Fallen from god
Fallen from grace
God be my witness
I never shall yield
Till we come face to face
Till we come face to face
Lord let me find him
That I may see him
Safe behind bars
I will never rest
Till then
This I swear
This I swear by the stars! ENJOLRAS, GRANTAIRE & MARIUS:
It is time for us all
To decide who we are
Do we fight for the right
To a night at the opera now?
Have you asked of yourselves
What's the price you might pay?
Is this simply a game
For rich young boys to play?
The colors of the world
Is changing day by day...
Red...I feel my soul on fire!
Black...My world when she's not there!
Red...The color of desire!
Black...The color of despair! MARIUS & COSETTE:
A heart full of love,
A heart full of song,
I'm doing everything all wrong,
Oh God, for shame,
I do not even know your name,
Dear Mad'moiselle,
Won't you say?
Will you tell?
A heart full of love
No fear, no regret
My name is Marius Pontmercy
And mine's Cosette
Cosette, I don't know what to say
Then make no sound
I am lost
And.. I am found! JEAN VALJEAN, MARIUS, COSETTE, EPONINE & JAVERT
One day more.
Tomorrow you'll be worlds away
And yet with you, my world has started!
One more day all on my own.
Will we ever meet again?
One more day with him not caring.
I was born to be with you.
What a life I might have known.
And I swear I will be true!
But he never saw me there!
My place is here, I fight with you!
One day more!
I did not live until today.
One more day all on my own!
(Overlapping)
I will learn their little Secrets,
I will know the things they know.
One day more!
Watch 'em run amok
Catch 'em as they fall
Never know your luck
When there's a free-for-all!
Tomorrow we'll be far away,
Tomorrow is the judgement day
Tomorrow we'll discover
What our God in Heaven has in store!
One more dawn
One more day
One day EPONINE:
On my own
Pretending he's beside me
All alone
I'll walk with him till morning
But without him
I feel his arms around me
And when I lose my way I close my eyes
And he has found me
And I love him
But every day I'm learning
That all my life
I've only been pretending
But without me
His world will go on turning
A world that's full of happiness
That I have never known JEAN VALJEAN:
God on high
Hear my prayer
In my need
You have always been there
You can take
You can give
Let him be
Let him live
If I die, let me die
Let him live
Bring him home
Bring him home JEAN VALJEAN, FANTINE & EPONINE:
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. EVERYBODY:
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.
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!
