See them with I dreamed that God
their trousers off would be forgiving
They're never quite as grand! Then I was young and unafraid
All it takes is And dreams were made
money in your hand and used and wasted

Going for a song No song unsung,
Got a lot of callers no wine untasted
But they never stay for long But the tigers come at night
With their voices
// A man will take Fantine’s hand soft as thunder
As they tear your hope apart
// Singing while going inside the room As they turn
your dream to shame

You can wear your shoes He filled my days
Don't it make a change with endless wonder
to have a girl He took my childhood
who can't refuse? in his stride
Easy money But he was gone
Lying on a bed when autumn came
Just as well they never see

To have me caught in a trap and choose to let

It was his hour at last to put a seal on my fate
Wipe out the past and wash me, clean off the
slate
All it would take was a flick of his knife
Vengeance was his and he gave me back my
life! Damned if I live in the debt of a thief!
Damned if I yield at the end of the chase!
I am the law and the law is not mocked!
I'll spit his pity right back in his face!
There is nothing on Earth that we share!
It is either Valjean or Javert!
And my thoughts fly apart
Can this man be believed?
Shall his sins be forgiven?
Shall his crimes be reprieved?
And must I now begin to doubt
Who never doubted all these years?
My heart is stone and still it trembles
The world I have known is lost in shadow
Is he from heaven or from hell?
And does he know
That granting me my life today
This man has killed me even so?
I am reaching but I fall
And the stars are black and cold
As I stare into the void

JEAN VALJEAN: At the end of my days
FANTINE: You raised my child in love
JEAN VALJEAN: She's the best of my life
FANTINE: And you will be with God
Oh!
//kisses his forehead//
Oh...
JEAN VALJEAN: (SOFTLY) Fantine.
//Cosette arrives//
COSETTE: (SINGING) Papa, Papa, I do not
understand
Are you all right?
Why did you go away?
JEAN VALJEAN: (EXCLAIMS IN RELIEF)
Cosette, my child!
Am I forgiven now?
Thank God, thank God
I've lived to see this day!
//Marius also arrives//
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 down 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
// Jean touches Marius’ face//
JEAN VALJEAN: Now you are here
Again beside me
//held Marius and Cosette’s hands together//
Now I can die in peace
For now my life is blessed
COSETTE: You will live, Papa
You're going to live
It's too soon
Too soon to say goodbye
Yes, Cosette, forbid me now to die!
I'll obey
I will try
On this page
I write my last confession
//gave a letter to Cosette//
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
COSETTE: I know it, Papa.
FANTINE: Come with me
Where chains will never bind you
JEAN VALJEAN: I am ready, Fantine.
FANTINE: All your grief
At last, at last behind you
Lord in heaven
Look down on him in mercy
JEAN VALJEAN: Forgive me all my trespasses
And take me to Your glory
FANTINE: Take my hand
I'll lead you to salvation
//Marius hugs Cosette who is crying//
Take my love
//Jean and Fantine’s spirits are walking together
, Fantine let go of Jean’s hand and let him walk
alone//
For love is everlasting
FANTINE, JEAN & BISHOP: And remember
The truth that once was spoken
To love another person
Is to see the face of God
//Jean’s spirit continuously walks until he came
in the representation of heaven//
CROWD: 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
We will live again in freedom
In the garden of the Lord
We will walk behind the plowshare
We 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?
//Jean joins in singing//
Say, do you hear the distant drums?
It is the future that we bring when tomorrow
comes!

Tomorrow comes!
