One Day More

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!

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!

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 1 One day to a new beginning

Students 2 Raise the flag of freedom high!

Students 1 Every man will be a king

Students 2 Every man will be a king

Students 1 There's a new world for the winning

Students 2 There's a new world to be won

Both Groups: Do you hear the people sing?
