Les Misérables Medley - Maccabeats

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!
