Les Miserables Upon These Stones (Ver. 2) Lyrics:
[Enjolras is addressing the
revolutionaries.]
Enjolras
Here upon these stones
We will build our barricade
In the heart of the city
We claim as our own!
Each man to his duty
And don't be afraid.
Wait! I will need a report
On the strength of the foe.
Javert [disguised as a rebel]
I can find out the truth
I know their ways
Fought their wars
Served my time
In the days
Of my youth!
Various Students
Now the people will fight
And so they might
Dogs will back
Fleas will bite.
They will do what is right
[Marius spots Eponine, who
is dressed as a boy.]
Marius
Hey little boy, what's this I see?
God Eponine, the things you do!
Eponine
I know this is no place for me
Still I would rather be with you.
Marius
Get out before the trouble starts
Get out, 'Ponine, you might get shot
Eponine
I got you worried, now I have

That shows you like me quite a lot
Marius
There is a way that you can help
You are the answer to a prayer
Please take this letter to Cosette
And pray to God that
she's still there!
[She walks to the Rue Plumet...]
Eponine
Little you know...
Little you care!
[...where she meets Valjean.]
I have a letter M'sieur
It's addressed to your
daughter Cosette
It's from a boy at the barricade, Sir
In the Rue de Villette.
Valjean
Give me that letter here, my boy
Eponine
He said to give it to Cosette
Valjean
You have my word that my
daughter will know
What this letter contains.
[He gives her a coin.]
Tell the young man she
will read it tomorrow
And here's for your pains
Go careful now, stay out of sight
There's danger in the streets tonight.
[He opens the letter... and reads it.]
``Dearest Cosette, you
have entered my soul
And soon you will be gone.
Can it be only a day since we met
And the world was reborn?
If I should fall in the battle to come
Let this be my goodbye
Now that I know you love me as well
It is harder to die...
I pray that god will bring me home
To be with you.
Pray for your Marius, he
prays for you!''
[Valjean goes in,
leaving Eponine alone.]
