Valjean

God on high

Hear my prayer

In my need

You have always been there

He is young

He's afraid

Let him rest

Heaven blessed.

Bring him home

Bring him home

Bring him home.

He's like the son I might have known

If God had granted me a son.

The summers die

One by one

How soon they fly

On and on

And I am old

And will be gone.

Bring him peace

Bring him joy

He is young

He is only a boy

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

Bring him home.

DAWN OF ANGUISH

[Day breaks.]

Enjolras

The people have not stirred

We are abandoned by those who still live in fear.

The people have not heard.

Yet will will not abandon those who cannot hear.

Let us not waste lives

Let all the women and fathers of children

Go from here.

Feuilly

Drink with me to days gone by

Sing with me the songs we knew

All

At the shrine of friendship

Raise your glass high

Let the wine of friendship

Never run dry

If I die

I die with you!

THE SECOND ATTACK (The Death of Gavroche)

[The battle recommences.]

Enjolras

How do we stand, Feuilly?

Make your report.

Feuilly

We've guns enough

But ammunition short

Marius

Let me go into the streets

There are bodies all around

Ammunition to be had

Lots of bullets to be found!

Enjolras

I won't let you go

It's too much of a chance.

Marius

The same is true

For any man here!

Valjean

Let me go

He's no more than a boy

I am old

I have nothing to fear

Gavroche

You need somebody quicker

And I volunteer!

[Gavroche climbs the barricade.]

Lesgles

Come back Gavroche, don't you dare!

Joly

Someone pull him down at once!

Gavroche

Look at me, I'm almost there!

[A shot rings out from beyond the barricade. Gavroche is hit.]

Gavroche

Little people know, when

Little people fight, we

[Another shot is fired.]

May look easy pickings

But we've got some bite!

[He is hit again.]

So never kick a dog

Because he's just a pup

We'll fight like twenty armies

And we won't give up

So you'd better run for cover

When the pup grows......

[He dies.]

THE FINAL BATTLE

Army Officer [from beyond the barricade]

You at the barricade listen to this

The people of Paris sleep in their beds

You have no chance

No chance at all

Why throw your lives away?

Enjolras

Let us die facing our foes

Make them bleed while we can

Combeferre

Make 'em pay through the nose

Courfeyrac

Make 'em pay for every man!

Enjolras

Let others rise

To take our place

Until the earth is free!

[Amidst increasingly heavy gunfire, Marius is shot. Enjolras is killed at the summit of the barricade. All at the barricade are killed, except Marius, who is wounded and unconscious, and Valjean. Valjean discovers that Marius is still alive and carries him down into the sewers to escape. Javert climbs over the barricade looking for Valjean's body. Not finding it, he realizes that Valjean must be in the sewers, so he goes off to where he must emerge.]

DOG EAT DOG (The Sewers)

[Thenardier is picking through the corpses in the sewers.]

Thenardier

Here's a hint of gold

Stuck into a tooth

Pardon me M'sieur

You won't be needing this no more.

Shouldn't be too hard to sell.

Add it to the pile

Add it to the stock

Here among the sewer rats

A breath away from hell

You get accustomed to the smell.

Well someone's got to clean 'em up, my friends

Bodies on the highway

Law and order upside down

Someone's got to collect their odds and ends

As a service to the town!

[Valjean arrives, carrying Marius, and collapses. Thenardier robs Marius.]

Here's a tasty ring

Pretty little thing

Wouldn't want to waste it

That would really be a crime

Thank you sir, I'm in your debt

Here's another toy

Take it off the boy

His heart's no longer going

And he's lived his little time

But his watch is ticking yet!

Well, someone's got to clean them up, my friends

Before the little harvest

Disappears into the mud

Someone's got to collect their odds and ends

When the gutters run with blood.

It's a world where the dog eats the dog

Where they kill for bones in the street

And God in His Heaven

He don't interfere

'Cause he's dead as the stiffs at my feet

I raise my eyes to see the heavens

And only the moon looks down

The harvest moon shines down!

[He turns over Valjean's body, recognizes him, and leaves. Eventually, Valjean picks up Marius again and walks through the sewers. As they emerge, they meet Javert.]
