Nick Pitera - One Man Les Miserables lyrics

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!
