Finale Lyrics - Alain Boublil

VALJEAN: 

Now you are here 

again beside me 

now i can die in peace 

for now my life is blessed 

COSSETTE: 

you will live, papa 

you're going to live 

it's too soon to ever say goodbye 

VALJEAN: 

yes, cossette 

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 a story of those who always loved you 

your mother gave her life for you and gave you to my keeping 

FANTINE: 

come with me 

where 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 trespases and take me to your glory 

FANTINE, VALJEAN AND EPONINE: 

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 

ALL: 

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 nights will end and the sun will rise 

they will live again in freedom in the garden of the lord 

they will walk behind the bloodshed 

they 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! 

REPEAT 

Aaaaah, aaaaah, aaaah, 

tomorrow comes!
