Les Miserables Unusual Songfics
"One Day" by Matisyahu for Valjean and the Les Amis
Sometimes I lay under the moon
And I thank God I'm breathin'
Valjean thought, thinking of all the struggles in his life.
Then I pray don't take me soon
'Cause I am here for a reason
Sometimes in my tears I drown
But I never let it get me down
So when negativity surrounds
I know someday it'll all turn around because
All my life I been waitin' for
I been prayin' for, for the people to say
That we don't want to fight no more
They'll be no more wars
And our children will play, one day
Then Combeferre stood and began to join in.
It's not about win or lose 'cause we all lose
When they feed on the souls of the innocent
He said, thinking of the people the Revolution would effect.
Blood drenched pavement keep on movin'
Though the waters stay ragin'
Said Bahorel, thinking of his life.
And in this life you may lose your way
Marius began, thinking of his previously impovrished life.
It might drive you crazy
But don't let it phase you, no way
Courfeyrac said, looking at Marius and smiling.
Sometimes in my tears I drown
Joly said with a shiver, thinking of all the Germs he could acquire from drowning in tears.
But I never let it get me down
Sang Bousett, putting an arm around Joly
So when negativity surrounds
Bousett thought about his luck of the devil and his sense of humor.
I know someday it'll all turn around because
All my life I been waitin' for
Feuilly took over, thinking of how the revolution would affect those who did not fight in it
I been prayin' for, for the people to say
That we don't want to fight no more
Because that was truely their goal. It was ironic; fighting to end bigotry, unnecessary violence and cruelty.
They'll be no more wars
And our children will play, one day
Jehan finished the verse poetically.
One day this all will change
Treat people the same
Enjolras stood and sang in a strong and powerful voice, showing his full emotion towards the Republic.
Stop with the violence down with the hate
One day we'll all be free and proud
Enjolras said, thus explaining the essence of why they fight; to be free
To be under the same sun
Singing songs of freedom like
Heooooo
Heooooo
HeoooOOO
All my life I been waitin' for
Everyone in the wineshop began to sing, as one voice, one passion, one nation.
I been prayin' for, for the people to say
That we don't want to fight no more
They'll be no more wars
And our children will play, one day
They finished feeling that although they would all die in a few hours, they have all completed their purpose in the world.
