Les Miserables: Do you hear the people sing: Sung by 17 Jean Valjeans from around the world



Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
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!

Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Somewhere beyond the barricade
Is there a world you long to see?

Then join in the fight
That will give you the right to be free!!

Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
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!

Will you give all you can give
So that our banner may advance
Some will fall and some will live
Will you stand up and take your chance?
The blood of the martyrs
Will water the meadows of France!

Have always loved La Marseillaise, and now at rallies feel like singing "Do you hear the people sing...."
Yes we need this energy!
Thank you.

Mesmerized by apps on devices, We the People certainly can use the inspiration.

Mireille Mathieu is amazing.

In addition to inspiring a nation with her voice, she helped raise 13 brothers and sisters .

PS: You and your wife are on my mind, and in my heart and prayers.
