Maccabeats - Les misérables lyrics

Look down, look down, you'll always be a slave Look down, look down, you're standing in your grave Look down, look down, don't look em in the eye Look down, look down, you're here until you die At the end of the day you're another day colder And the shirt on your back doesn't keep out the chill And the righteous hurry past They don't hear the little ones crying And the guards coming on fast, ready to k** One day nearer to dying! At the end of the day there's another day dawning And the sun in the morning is waiting to rise Like the waves crash on the sand Like a storm that'll break any second There's a hunger in the land There's a reckoning still to be reckoned and We're gonna be free someday! At the end of the day I dreamed a dream in times gone by When hope was high And life worth living I dreamed that hope would never die I dreamed that God would be forgiving Then I was young and unafraid And dreams were made and used and wasted There was no ransom to be paid No song unsung No wine untasted Who am I? Can I condemn these men to slavery Pretend I do not feel their agony These innocent who bear my face Who go 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? My soul belongs 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 Watch em run amuck, catch em as they fall Never know your luck till there's a free for all Here's a little nip, there's a little touch Most of them are goners so they won't miss much One day to a new beginning Every man will be a king There's a new world for the winning Do you hear the people sing 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 more! Do you hear the people sing? Singing the song of angry men It is the music of a people who will not be slaves again 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 ploughshed, the 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!
