Les Misérables Medley |
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 em 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 on 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 times 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 judgement in my place |
Who am I? |
Can I conceal myself for evermore? |
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 men? |
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 amuck, catch em as they fall |
Never know your luck till 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 |
Every man will be a king |
There’s a new world for the winning |
Do you hear the people sing |
Tomorrow we’ll be far away |
Tomorrow is the judgement 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 ploughshed, the 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! |
