The Death of Gavroche

[ENJOLRAS, spoken]
We’re the only ones left
(singing)
The people have not stirred
We’re abandoned by those who still live in fear
Let us not waste lives
Let all who wish to go from here

[GAVROCHE]
Do you hear the people sing?
Singing the song of angry men

[STUDENTS]
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start when tomorrow comes

[GAVROCHE]
Little people know when little people fight
We may look easy pickings...

[ENJOLRAS, spoken]
Gavroche?

[GAVROCHE]
...but we got some bite
So never kick a dog, because he’s just a pup

[ENJOLRAS, spoken]
Gavroche!

Gavroche is shot at

[GAVROCHE]
We’ll fight like twenty armies...

[ENJOLRAS, spoken]
Gavroche!

[GAVROCHE]
And we won’t give up!

[ENJOLRAS, spoken]
Gavroche! Come back!

[MARIUS, spoken]
Gavroche, what are you doing? Come back!
Come back!

Gavroche is shot at again

[GAVROCHE]
So you better...

[MARIUS, spoken]
Don’t let him go!

[GAVROCHE]
...run for cover... when the pup...

[MARIUS, spoken]
Come back! Someone stop him!

[GAVROCHE]
...grows...

Gavroche is shot. A fight breaks out

[ARMY OFFICER]
You at the barricades, listen to this!
The people of Paris are safe in their beds
You have no chance
No chance at all
Why throw your lives away?

[ENJOLRAS]
Let us die facing our foes!
Make them bleed while we can!

[COMBEFERRE]
Make them pay through the nose!

[COURFEYRAC]
Make them pay for every man!

[ENJOLRAS]
Let others rise to take our place
Until the earth is free!
