Building the Barricade

Here upon these stones we'll build a 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

I can find out the truth
I know their ways
Fought their wars
Served my time
In the days of my youth

Hey little boy what's this I see?
God Eponine the things you do

I know this is no place for me
Still I would rather be with you

Get out before the trouble starts
Get out Eponine you might get shot

I've got you worried now I have?
That shows you like me quite a lot

There is a way 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

Little he knows
Little he cares

I have a letter monsieur
Its addressed to your daughter Cosette
It's from a boy at the barricades
Sir, in the Rue Plumet

Give me that letter here my boy

He said to give it to Cosette

You have my word that my daughter will know what this letter contains
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

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 that 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
