Finale Lyrics - Les Miserables

[valjean is in a chair and Fantine's ghost appears and starts to sing] 

FANTINE 

Monsieur I bless your name 

VALJEAN 

I am ready Fantine 

FANTINE 

Monsieur lay down your burdens 

VALJEAN 

At the end of my days 

FANTINE 

You raised my child in love 

VALJEAN 

She's the best of my life 

FANTINE 

And you will be with God 

VALJEAN 

Oh 

COSETTE 

Papa, Papa I do not understand 

Are you alright why did you go away? 

VALJEAN 

Oh Cosette my child 

Am I forgiven now 

Thank God 

Thank God 

I've lived to see this day 

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 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 

VALJEAN 

Now you are here 

Again beside me 

Now I can die in peace 

And now my life is blessed 

COSETTE 

You will live, Papa you're going to live 

It's too soon, too soon to say goodbye 

VALJEAN 

Yes Cosette, 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 the story of one who turned from hating 

A man who only learned to love when you were in his keeping 

FANTINE 

Come with me these 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 trespasses and take me to your glory 

FANTINE 

Take my hand I'll lead you to salvation 

[Valjean take Fantine's hand and walk outside the building and see the ghosts of the barricade people] 

Take my love for love is everlasting 

FANTINE AND VALJEAN AND THE POPE 

And remember the truth that once was spoken 

To love another person is to see the face of God 

PEOPLE WHO DIED AT THE BARRICADE 

Do you hear the people sing? 

Lost in the valley of the lost in the valley of the night? 

This is the music of the 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 when the sun will rise 

We will live again in freedom in the garden of the Lord 

We will walk behind the plough shed 

We 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 want to see? 

Do you hear the people sing? Say do you hear the distant drums? 

it is the future that we bring when tomorrow comes 

Will you join in our crusade who will be strong and stand with me? 

Somewhere beyond the barricade is there a world you want to see? 

do you hear the people sing? Say do you hear the distant drums? 

It is the future that we bring when tomorrow comes 

[singing chords] 

Tomorrow comes!
