Monsieur, I bless your name. I am ready, Fantine. Monsieur, lay down your burden. At the end of my days. You 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 all right? Why did you go away? Cosette, my child, am I forgiven now? Thank God, thank God. I've lived 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 bag 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 one who turned from hating. The man who only learned to love when you were in his keeping. I know, I know. Come with me, but shames will never bind you. I'm ready for death. All your grief at last, at last behind you. Look 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 everlasting. And remember the truth that once was spoken. To love another person is to see the face of God. To hear the people say, lost in the valley of the night. It is the music of the people who will climb into 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. We will live again in freedom in the garden of the Lord. We will walk behind the plowshare. We 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 thee? Somewhere beyond the barricade is there a world too long to see. Do you hear the people sing? Say, do you hear the distant voice? It is the future that we bring and tomorrow comes.
