God on high
Hear my prayer
In my need
You have always been there

He is young
He's afraid
Let him rest
Heaven blessed
Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home

He's like the son I might have known
If God had granted me a son
The summers die
One by one
How soon they fly
On and on
And I am old
And will be gone

Bring him peace
Bring him joy
He is young
He is only a boy

You can take
You can give
Let him be
Let him live
If I die, let me die
Let him live
Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home

    This is pretty self explanitory, Valjean is praying that Marius may live, and be at peace, for he is only a boy. He asks god to take him instead.

    I love this song, the notes and melody really give off a feeling of sadness, and I find it very powerful when music does this to me.
