Lyrics

Valjean: One day more!
Another day, another destiny.
This neverending road to Calvary;
These men who seem to know my crime
Will surely come a second time.
One day more!


Marius: I did not live until today.
How can I live when we are parted?


Valjean: One day more.


Marius and Cosette: Tomorrow, you'll be worlds away
And yet, with you, my world has started!


Éponine: One more day all on my own.


Marius and Cosette: Will we ever meet again?


Éponine: One more day with him not caring.


Marius and Cosette: I was born to be with you.


Éponine: What a life I might have known.


Marius and Cosette: And I swear I will be true!


Éponine: But he never saw me there!


Enjolras: One more day before the storm!


Marius: Do I follow where she goes?


Enjolras: At the barricades of freedom.


Marius: Shall I join my brothers there?


Enjolras: When our ranks begin to form


Marius: Do I stay; and do I dare?


Enjolras: Will you take your place with me?


All: The time is now, the day is here!


[Éponine grabs Marius by the arm and they both run.]


Valjean: One day more!


[Javert briefs his soldiers.]


Javert: One day more to revolution,
We will nip it in the bud!
We'll be ready for these schoolboys
They will wet themselves with blood!


Valjean: One day more!


[The Thénardiers emerge briefly from underground.]


Monsieur and Madame Thénardier: Watch 'em run amuck,
Catch 'em as they fall,
Never know your luck
When there's a free for all,
Here, a little 'dip'
There, a little 'touch'
Most of them are goners
So they won't miss much!


Students (Group 1): One day to a new beginning


Students (Group 2): Raise the flag of freedom high!


Students (Group 1): Every man will be a king


Students (Group 2): Every man will be a king


Students (Group 1): There's a new world for the winning


Students (Group 2): There's a new world to be won


Both Groups: Do you hear the people sing?


[Éponine and Marius arrive at where the students and citizens are.]


Marius: [To Enjolras] My place is here, I fight with you!


Valjean: [Overlapping]
One day more!


Marius and Cosette: [Overlapping]
I did not live until today.


Éponine: [Overlapping]
One more day all on my own!


Marius and Cosette: [Overlapping]
How can I live when we are parted?


Javert: [Overlapping]
I will join these people's heroes
I will follow where they go
I will learn their little secrets,
I will know the things they know.

Monsieur and Madame Thénardier: [Overlapping]
Watch 'em run amok
Catch 'em as they fall
Here, a little 'dip'
There, a little 'touch'


Valjean: [Overlapping]
One day more!


Marius and Cosette:
Tomorrow you'll be worlds away


Éponine: [Overlapping]
What a life I might have known!


Marius and Cosette: [Overlapping]
And yet, with you, my world has started


Javert: [Overlapping]
One more day to revolution
We will nip it in the bud
We'll be ready for these schoolboys


Monsieur and Madame Thénardier: [Overlapping]
Watch 'em run amok
Catch 'em as they fall
Never know your luck
When there's a free-for-all!


Valjean: [Overlapping]
Tomorrow, we'll be far away,


Valjean, Javert, and Enjolras: Tomorrow is the judgement day


All: Tomorrow, we'll discover
What our God in Heaven has in store!
One more dawn!
One more day!
One day more!!!
