At the Barricade (Upon These Stones)

Here upon these stones we will build our barricade In the heart of this 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 Now the people will fight And so they might Dogs will bark Fleas will bite They will do what is right 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 'Ponine you might get shot I got you worried now I have That shows you like me quite a lot 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 Little you know Little you care I have a letter Monsieur, it's addressed to your daughter Cosette It's from a boy at the barricade sir in the Rue de Villette 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 good bye Now that I know you love me as well it is harder to die I prat that God will bring me home to be with you Pray for your Marius, he prays for you
