Les Miserables - Finale lyrics

[valjean is in a chair and Fantine's ghost appears and starts to sing] FANTINE Monsieur I bless your name VALJEAN I am ready Fantine FANTINE Monsieur lay down your burdens 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 VALJEAN Oh COSETTE Papa, Papa I do not understand Are you alright why did you go away? VALJEAN Oh Cosette my child Am I forgiven now Thank God 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 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 And 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 one who turned from hating A man who only learned to love when you were in his keeping FANTINE Come with me these 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 trespa**es and take me to your glory FANTINE Take my hand I'll lead you to salvation [Valjean take Fantine's hand and walk outside the building and see the ghosts of the barricade people] Take my love for love is everlasting FANTINE AND VALJEAN AND THE POPE And remember the truth that once was spoken To love another person is to see the face of God PEOPLE WHO DIED AT THE BARRICADE Do you hear the people sing? Lost in the valley of the lost in the valley of the night? This is the music of the 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 when the sun will rise We will live again in freedom in the garden of the Lord We will walk behind the plough shed We 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 want to see? Do you hear the people sing? Say do you hear the distant drums? it is the future that we 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 want to see? do you hear the people sing? Say do you hear the distant drums? It is the future that we bring when tomorrow comes [singing chords] Tomorrow comes!
