Bring Him Home - Valjean Lyrics - Alain Boublil

From "Les Miserables" 

Music by Claude-Michel Schoenberg 

Lyrics by Herbert Kretzmer and Alain Boublil 

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.
