Les Misérables

Bum bum (down, da-down, down)
Bum bum bum bum bum bum (down, da-down, down)
Bum bum (down, da-down, down)
Bum bum bum bum bum bum (down, da-down, down)

Look down, look down
You'll always be a slave
Look down, look down
You're standing in your grave
Look down, look down
Don't look him in the eye
Look down, look down
You're here until you die

At the end of the day you're another day colder
And the shirt on your back doesn't keep out the chill
And the righteous hurry past
They don't hear the little ones crying
And the guards coming up fast, ready to kill
One day nearer to dying

At the end of the day there's another day dawning
And the sun in the morning is waiting to rise
Like the waves crash on the sand
Like a storm that'll break any second
There's a hunger in the land
There's a reckoning still to be reckoned
And we're gonna be free someday
At the end of the day

I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high and life worth living
I dreamed that hope would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving

Then I was young and unafraid
And dreams were made and used and wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung, no wine untasted

Who am I?
Can I condemn these men to slavery?
Pretend I do not feel their agony?

These innocent who bear my face
Who go to judgment in my place
Who am I?
Can I conceal myself forevermore?
Pretend I'm not the man I was before?

And must my name until I die
Be no more than an alibi?
Must I lie?
How can I ever face my fellow man?
How can I ever face myself again?

My soul belongs to God, I know
I made that bargain long ago
He gave me hope when hope was gone
He gave me strength to journey on

Watch 'em run amok, catch 'em as they fall
Never know your luck 'til there's a free-for-all
Here's a little nip, there's a little touch
Most of them are goners so they won't miss much

One day to a new beginning
Raise the flag of freedom high
Every man will be a king
Every man will be a king
There's a new world for the winning
There's a new world to be won
Do you hear the people sing?

Tomorrow will be far away
Tomorrow is the judgment day
Tomorrow we'll discover
What our God in Heaven has in store
One more dawn
One more day
One day more

Do you hear the people sing?

Singing the song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again
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 plowshare
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
Tomorrow comes
