paroles de chanson Epilogue (Live) - Claude-Michel Schönberg

Alone I wait in the shadows
I count the hours 'til I can sleep
I dreamed a dream Cosette stood by
It made her weak to know I died
Alone at the end of the day
Upon this wedding night I pray
Take these children, my lord, to thy embrace
And show them grace

God on high
Hear my prayer
Take me now
To thy care
Where you are
Let me be
Take me now
Take me there
Bring me home
Bring me home

Monsieur, I bless your name
I am ready, Fantine
Monsieur, lay down your burden
At the end of my days
You've raised my child in love
She's the best of my life
And you will be with God

Papa, papa, I do not understand
Are you alright, they said you'd gone away
Cosette, my child, am I forgiven now
Thank God
Thank God I live to see this day
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

Now you are here
Again beside me
Now I can die in peace
For now my life is blessed
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
Read it well
When I at last am sleeping
It's the story of those who always loved you
Your mother gave her life for you
Then gave you to my keeping

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
Forgive me all my trespasses and take me to your glory

Take my hand
I'll lead you to salvation
Take my love
For love is ever lasting
And remember the truth that once was spoken
To love another person is to see the face of God

Do you hear the people sing
Lost in the valley of the night
It's 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
And the sun will rise
They will live again in freedom in the garden of the lord
They will walk behind the ploughshare
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
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

Oh
Oh
Oh
Tomorrow
Comes
